Washington –The Computer & Communications Industry Association has submitted comments on the New Jersey Data Privacy Act. In response to the request from comments from the state Division of Consumer Affairs, CCIA suggested some amendments to better align the regulations more closely with the statutory text of the NJDPA, with other state and federal privacy laws and to clarify compliance issues for businesses.
CCIA has advocated for baseline federal privacy rules for more than 25 years.
The following can be attributed to Kyle Sepe, CCIA State Policy Manager, Northeast:
“CCIA appreciates New Jersey’s efforts to protect consumer data and privacy and the opportunity to offer input on the proposed rules. We still strongly believe that federal privacy legislation is needed.”
