Is the Washington Privacy Act a good model for U.S. legislation? Lawmakers should consider:How well do its provisions align with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the current “gold standard” for global privacy law?How well does it align with, or go beyond, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)?How well does it align with this year’s new California Ballot Initiative? The upcoming California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA), if certified for the 2020 ballot in California, would significantly raise the bar for federal and state privacy protections.Finally, how strong are the provisions of the 2020 Washington Privacy Act compared to last year’s 2019 version in Washington that narrowly failed to pass? Lawmakers should consider the extent to which the bill addresses (or does not address) significant weaknesses inlast year’s 2019 Washington Privacy Act (including in the scope of individual rights, protections for sensitive data, and facial recognition provisions).FPF has created the following charts to compare key elements of the current California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA); the upcoming 2020 California Ballot Initiative (CPRA); the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); the WPA of 2019 (Senate Bill 5376); and the WPA of 2020 (Substitute Senate Bill 6281).
