What do I need to know about Consumer Privacy and The FTC Act?
The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits deceptive or unfair trade practices. Under the FTC Act, businesses must handle consumer information in a way that is consistent with their promises to their customers (for example, what they say in their online privacy policy), and avoid data security practices that create an unreasonable risk of harm to consumer data.
