Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) - as amended by CPRA (2023)
The CCPA, significantly amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) effective January 1, 2023, grants California consumers extensive rights over their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale or sharing of their data, and establishes the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).
This policy requires Mediar Solutions to ensure robust data anonymization and privacy-by-design in their in-store analytics to comply with consumer rights regarding data collection and sharing.
American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) - Proposed (2024)
The ADPPA is a comprehensive federal privacy bill currently proposed in the U.S. Congress, aiming to establish a national privacy standard that would preempt many state laws, including parts of the CCPA, and regulate how companies collect, use, and share personal data.
If enacted, this federal law could standardize data privacy compliance across states, potentially simplifying Mediar's regulatory landscape but requiring adherence to a new, comprehensive set of data handling rules.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement Actions on Biometric Data and AI (Ongoing)
The FTC has increased its focus on protecting consumer privacy, particularly concerning the collection and use of biometric data and the responsible deployment of AI, issuing guidance and pursuing enforcement actions against companies for deceptive practices or privacy violations.
Mediar Solutions must remain vigilant about the FTC's evolving interpretations and enforcement in the use of AI for analyzing shopper behavior to avoid privacy breaches and maintain consumer trust.
