Consumers and firms have enthusiastically embraced the digital world. However, data breaches, intrusive web tracking, and the opaque nature of data usage across platforms have caused anxiety and uncertainty for consumers and policymakers. How we govern the collection and use of data could affect public trust of commercial and public institutions and influence the rate of innovation across the economy.
