What is the U.S. sectoral approach to privacy regulation?

Click to reveal answer

Answer

Instead of a single comprehensive federal privacy law, the U.S. enacts industry-specific statutes as privacy issues arise in particular sectors — e.g., HIPAA for healthcare, GLBA for finance, COPPA for children. This results in a patchwork of laws rather than one overarching framework like the GDPR.
