Impactful Policy Frameworks
American Privacy Rights Act (APRA) (Proposed, 2024)
A bipartisan federal privacy bill proposed in 2024 aiming to create a national standard for data privacy, granting consumers new rights over their personal data and imposing obligations on companies regarding data collection and usage.
This policy will mandate stricter data handling practices for Digital Surgeons and its clients, requiring transparent data collection, explicit user consent, and potentially limiting the scope of targeted advertising campaigns.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Revisions (Ongoing)
While COPPA (1998) protects children's privacy online, there are ongoing discussions and potential updates to its scope and enforcement, particularly concerning data collection via emerging digital platforms and behavioral advertising directed at minors.
Potential COPPA revisions will require Digital Surgeons to meticulously review and adapt their marketing strategies, especially for CPG clients targeting families, ensuring compliance when collecting data or serving ads to audiences under 13.
FTC's Policy Statement on Biometric Information (2024)
The FTC recently issued a policy statement emphasizing its authority to take action against unfair or deceptive practices related to the collection and use of biometric information, which includes data used for personalized experiences.
Digital Surgeons must ensure their advanced analytics and personalization strategies, particularly those using facial recognition or other biometric-adjacent data for enhanced user experience, comply with FTC guidelines to avoid deceptive practices and ensure consumer transparency.
