The Obama Administration revealed the proposed "Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights," as part of United States government's commitment to improve consumer privacy protection and to ensure that the internet remains as a tool for innovation and economic growth on February 23, 2012. The Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights aims to provide consumers the ability to control or select data stored about them and how these data will be used. In his statement, President Barack Obama said, ''"American consumers can’t wait any longer for clear rules of the road that ensure their personal information is safe online. As the Internet evolves, consumer trust is essential for the continued growth of the digital economy. That’s why an online privacy Bill of Rights is so important. For businesses to succeed online, consumers must feel secure. By following this blueprint, companies, consumer advocates and policymakers can help protect consumers and ensure the Internet remains a platform for innovation and economic growth."'' <ref>[http://news.dot-nxt.com/2012/02/27/usg-privacy-plans US data privacy: the hard work begins]</ref> <ref>[http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/02/23/we-can-t-wait-obama-administration-unveils-blueprint-privacy-bill-rights We Can’t Wait: Obama Administration Unveils Blueprint for a “Privacy Bill of Rights” to Protect Consumers Online]</ref> | |||
