If you are an internet user, there is no doubt that some portion of your personal data—including shopping habits and website engagement—is being held by public and/or private entities. It is almost impossible to browse a website without seeing a pop-up requiring the visitor to agree to the entities’ privacy policy and terms of use. Although people historically have been unaware of their data being collected and even sold, the modern era of social media and the internet has begun to change that. People are becoming increasingly mindful and wary of the data they are sharing and with whom. While the fundamental right to privacy, especially regarding personal data held by entities both domestically and globally, has been widely recognized, ensuring its protection poses international problems proving difficult to resolve. Recent developments in international law have only exacerbated these issues, and the U.S. is struggling to keep up with E.U. privacy standards. For the U.S. to continue collecting and using international data, it will need to perform a serious overhaul of its federal data privacy and protection policies. This Article explores how the U.S. may do that.
