WPF advises FTC regarding proposed changes to the Telemarketing Sales Rule
The World Privacy Forum provided comments to the FTC regarding its proposed substantive amendments to the Telemarketing Sales Rule (part 310), 87 FR 33677. Generally, WPF supports nearly all of the proposed changes in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. However, we are concerned about three specific areas: The expansion of consumer records kept by telemarketers without commensurate requirements for not selling, sharing, or otherwise using those records The narrowness of some of the technical language around soundboard technology in the proposal.

We encourage the addition of broader terms such as digital soundboards. The proposal does not incorporate the modern uses of voice biometrics in its analysis of telemarketing activities.

This is an extremely important analysis to add to the rule. The proposal could be as simple as requiring telemarketing companies to notify consumers of the use of such technologies, and to keep records of what technologies were used, why, and when.

Report: From the Filing Cabinet to the Cloud: Updating the Privacy Act of 1974 This comprehensive report and proposed bill text is focused on the Privacy Act of 1974, an important and early Federal privacy law that applies to the government sector and some contractors. The Privacy Act was written for the 1970s information era -- an era that was characterized by the use of mainframe computers and filing cabinets. Today's digital information era looks much different than the '70s: smart phones are smarter than the old mainframes, and documents are now routinely digitized and stored and perhaps even analyzed in the cloud, among many other changes.

The report focuses on why the Privacy Act needs an update that will bring it into this century, and how that could look and work. This work was written by Robert Gellman, and informed by a two-year multi-stakeholder process. COVID-19 and HIPAA: HHS’s Troubled Approach to Waiving Privacy and Security Rules for the Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic strained the U.S. health ecosystem in numerous ways, including putting pressure on the HIPAA privacy and security rules.

The Department of Health and Human Services adjusted the privacy and security rules for the pandemic through the use of statutory and administrative HIPAA waivers. While some of the adjustments are appropriate for the emergency circumstances, there are also some meaningful and potentially unwelcome privacy and security consequences. At an appropriate time, the use of HIPAA waivers as a response to health care emergencies needs a thorough review.
