🇺🇸 United States · Privacy & Data Protection
Data-protection regime (GDPR/CCPA/PIPL and local laws), registration duties, and the official supervisory authority.
The US has no single comprehensive federal data-protection law; the FTC enforces privacy at the federal level, and several states have enacted their own privacy laws.
- The FTC addresses unfair or deceptive data practices under its general consumer-protection authority.
- State laws apply — e.g., California's CCPA/CPRA, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency.
Official authorities
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
