The American Data Privacy & Protection Act: practical commentary on the proposed U.S. federal data protection rules - Part I.

For the first time in the history of the U.S. federal legal system, on June 21, 2022, a comprehensive bill - Bill H.R. 8152 - American Data Privacy and Protection Act - ADPPA - was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, which among its stated goals (in its title) has those of recognizing basic data privacy rights for consumers, creating robust oversight mechanisms and ensuring meaningful enforcement of the new regulatory framework.

The American Data Privacy and Protection Act, if passed, would become the first organic federal data privacy and data protection bill in the U.S. (applying with precedence over similar state laws, with the exception of special provisions of certain state laws and the privacy laws of Illinois and California, which has the most advanced data protection law in the U.S., the California Consumer Privacy Act - CCPA).

Prof. Avv. Alessandro del Ninno publishes a practical commentary - in question-and-answer form - on the American Data privacy and protection Act - ADPPA with the aim of identifying and clarifying - also from a comparative perspective with the European GDPR - the practical and application profiles of greatest interest to those who will be called upon (e.g., when transferring personal data internationally to the U.S.) to comply with the future federal data protection legislation.
