U.S. CONSUMER DATA PRIVACY

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is working to develop consumer data privacy policies, and the  Commerce Department is meeting with big companies like Facebook Inc, Comcast Corp and Alphabet Inc as it looks to eventually seeing the policies enshrined in legislation, two officials said recently.

Data Privacy has become an increasingly important issue, fueled by massive breaches that have compromised personal information of millions of US Internet and Social Media users, spurring Congressional hearings

California, the lost populous US state, and the European Union have both adopted data protection rules.

David RodI, a senior US Commerce Department official who oversees the National Telecommunications, and Information Administration, said in a speech last some two Fridays ago to the Internet Governance Forum USA in Washington that the administration ''began holding stockholder meetings'' to identify common grounds and formulate core, high-level principles on data privacy.''

White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said the administration, through the White House National Economic Council, aims to craft a consumer privacy protection policy that is the appropriate balance between and prosperity.

We look forward to working with the Congress on a legislative solution consistent with our  overarching policy.
