Instead, a patchwork of federal laws and  regulations govern the collection and disclosure of personal information  and has been addressed by Congress on a sector-by-sector basis. Federal  laws and regulations extend protection to consumer credit reports,  electronic communications, federal agency records, education records,  bank records, cable subscriber information, video rental records, motor  vehicle records, health information, telecommunications subscriber  information, children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s online information, and customer financial  information. Some contend that this patchwork of laws and regulations is  insufficient to meet the demands of today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s technology. Congress, the  Obama Administration, businesses, public interest groups, and citizens  are all involved in the discussion of privacy solutions. This report  examines some of those efforts with respect to the protection of  personal information. This report provides a brief overview of selected  recent developments in the area of federal privacy law. This report does  not cover workplace privacy laws or state privacy laws.<\/p>\n<p>For information on access to electronic communications, see CRS Report R41733, <em>Privacy: An Overview of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act<\/em>, by Charles Doyle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/infodocket.com\/2011\/04\/25\/crs-privacy-protections-for-personal-information-online\/\">CRS \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Privacy Protections for Personal Information Online \u00c2\u00ab INFOdocket<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Privacy Protections for Personal Information Online (PDF) There is no comprehensive federal privacy statute that protects personal information.
