Foreigners may soon sue in US courts for privacy violations

The Judicial Redress Act of 2015 was voted in favor by the House of Reps. and heads for the Senate – which would extend the Privacy Act of 1974 to EU citizens and other specified countries.  The invalidation of the Safe Harbor program pointed to EU residents’ inability to redress data / privacy violations – which is only available to US citizens and permanent residents.  If passed, DOJ (Department of Justice) can designate foreign countries, etc. pursuit of civil remedies.  Hence promoting legislation that allow better data sharing between US and foreign governments.
