Abstract

Data privacy in the United States is protected by a patchwork of Federal and state laws. Federal laws protect data based on the type of entity collecting and retaining the information. Unlike the European Union, there is no comprehensive privacy statute. Some statutes, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability have specific requirements others like the Federal Trade Commission Act, only protect against deceptive and unfair business practices. Because of this framework, the use of personal data in the United States requires navigating through a series of complicated Federal and state statutes that are continuously being updated and amended.

摘要

美国的数据隐私受联邦和州法律的多重保护。联邦法律根据收集和保留信息的实体类型来保护数据。与欧盟不同，美国没有全面的隐私法规。一些法规，如《健康保险便携性和责任法案》有具体要求，而其他法规，如《联邦贸易委员会法案》，仅保护免受欺骗性和不公平的商业行为。由于这种框架，在美国使用个人数据需要通过一系列复杂的联邦和州法规，这些法规不断更新和修订。
