Privacy is a fundamental right

Exercising your privacy rights can unfortunately be an unnecessarily arduous task. That's why we're proud to stand with a coalition of civil society, consumer protection and privacy advocates supporting Assembly Bill 566, a bill that would require browsers and mobile operating systems to include a setting that enables a consumer to send an opt-out preference signal.

Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, alongside a coalition of civil rights, consumer, and privacy organizations, strongly opposes the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution S.J. Res 28, which would roll back vital consumer protections for digital payment apps. This resolution threatens to remove essential oversight that helps ensure the safety and security of millions of users who rely on these apps daily. We urge Senators to reject this resolution and protect consumers from increased vulnerability to fraud, misuse of sensitive personal data, and unjust account freezes or deactivations.

On March 3, Meghan Land will present PRC's report Paying Twice to Learn with Ariel Fox Johnson, Principal, Digital Smarts Law & Policy, at the Northeast OER Summit. They will discuss the report's findings and ways in which OER and privacy advocates might work together to improve student experiences with digital courseware.
