What about the US?
In this final chapter, we will enter the world of US privacy, including the Federal Trade Commission (including Section 5), and check the status of local privacy laws, while looking at other laws that are relevant to data protection and trying to understand whether they can, sooner or later, lead to a national law. Finally, we will look at two different but similar phenomena: bring your own device and remote working.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- The US status of privacy
- The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
- An overview of Section 5 of the FTC Act
- How NIST and FTC interact
- Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
- Remote working
- What privacy rights are available to employees?
