WASHINGTON—The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will hold hearings in December and February to examine its authority to deter unfair and deceptive conduct in data security and privacy matters.
The Dec. 11-12 hearings will focus on data security and will be held at the FTC Constitution Center Auditorium in Washington. The Feb. 12-13 hearings on consumer privacy will take place in the same venue, reported NAFCU, which said it will attend the hearings.
The data security hearings will include five panel discussions and another conversation on research related to data breaches and data security threats. The FTC is currently seeking comments by Dec. 21 on what should be included in the agenda for the February consumer privacy hearings.
