The Irish Data Protection Commissioner, Helen Dixon, will give evidence on data privacy in the digital age to a US Senate committee tomorrow morning.
Ms Dixon is one of four witnesses appearing before the commerce, science and transportation committee to discuss “Consumer Perspectives: Policy Principles for a Federal Data Privacy Framework”.
The hearing will examine consumers’ expectations for data privacy in the digital age and how those expectations may vary based on the type of information collected and processed by businesses.
In addition, the hearing will examine how to provide consumers with meaningful tools and resources to make more informed privacy decisions about the products and services they use both online and offline.
The panel will also discuss data privacy rights, controls, and protections that should be available to consumers and enshrined into law in the United States.
Witness testimony, opening statements, and a live video of the hearing (which starts at 10am local time, or 3pm Irish time) will be available on www.commerce.senate.gov.
