Which is TRUE about the scope and authority of data protection oversight authorities?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The true statement about the scope and authority of data protection oversight authorities is that no one agency officially oversees the enforcement of privacy regulations in the United States. Unlike other regions, such as the European Union or Canada, the United States does not have a comprehensive federal privacy law or a single national data protection authority. Instead, it has a patchwork of sector-specific and state-level laws and regulations, enforced by various federal and state agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Department of Commerce (DOC), etc. Additionally, individuals can also bring private lawsuits against organizations that violate their privacy rights.Reference: [Data Protection Authorities], [Privacy Law in the United States]

Option B is definitely not correct. The EU has a complex system of data protection authorities, not just a single DPC.

I think Option C is true. The US doesn't have a single agency responsible for enforcing privacy regulations. What a mess!

I disagree, I believe D is true as APEC requires member nations to designate a data protection authority.
