Privacy for America logo

ANA strongly supports enactment of federal privacy legislation that sets strong baseline privacy protections for consumers and establishes a national standard for businesses to continue to grow, innovate, and create valuable new ad-supported services. ANA is a founding member of Privacy for America, a broad coalition of trade associations and companies working with Congress to pass comprehensive privacy legislation.

In addition to our work with Congress, the ANA engages with other federal regulators, like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to represent the interests of advertisers. Last year, ANA provided comment (available as a PDF) during the FTC’s Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on "Commercial Surveillance and Data Security."

To keep up with the latest from both Congress and the agencies, go to our federal legislative tracking page or email washington@ana.net to sign up for our weekly newsletter, The ADvisor.
