Despite mass increase in breaches, most US consumers unaware of data laws & best practices
US survey of 1,000 consumers finds 71% don’t know about data laws like CCPA, despite the huge increases in data breaches (incidences were up 141% between 2019-2020) and their desire for data protection. Thirty-nine percent of those surveyed said they want more government regulation – but in terms of best practice, 71% admitted they never, or only occasionally, read data sharing disclosures that are provided to tell them how their data is being used.
