"NCTA welcomes the introduction of the SECURE Data Act, comprehensive federal privacy legislation that would establish a clear, nationwide privacy standard. A unified approach will strengthen consumer trust, give individuals meaningful control over their personal information, and provide businesses the certainty needed to innovate, protect data, and drive growth while eliminating the confusing patchwork of state laws that burdens consumers and businesses.

"We commend Chairman Guthrie and Vice Chairman Joyce for their leadership on this important issue and look forward to working together to advance balanced, effective privacy legislation."
