By U.S. Senator Deb Fischer<\/p>\n

Technology is changing fast, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence, and much of that change is driven by personal data. Every time you go online, you leave behind a trail of information. This can include what you buy, what you search for, where you go, and even health-related data, such as the number of steps your phone tracks in a day. This information is collected by apps, websites, and companies worldwide. While this data can be useful, it shouldn\u2019t come at the cost of your privacy.<\/p>\n

Most of us see this every day. You search for something online, and suddenly ads for it start appearing on social media and in your search engine. Your inbox fills with spam emails and text messages. I hear from Nebraskans all the time who are worried about how their personal information is being collected and used. Those concerns are understandable, and frankly, they\u2019re shared by many families across our state.J<\/p>\n

anuary 28 marks Data Privacy Day, an opportunity to stop and think about how much of our personal information is floating around online and what we can do to protect it. While we may not be able to control everything, there are steps we can take to limit how much of our information can be found publicly.<\/p>\n

There is also more that the government can do to make sure Nebraskans and Americans aren\u2019t taken advantage of. For years, Congress has been working to pass a comprehensive federal data privacy law that will establish guardrails to ensure all organizations and companies protect personal information online. As a senior member of the Senate Commerce Committee, I am optimistic that we can make progress toward this goal in 2026.<\/p>\n

The good news is that there are simple things you can do today to better protect yourself. Take a few minutes to check the privacy settings on the apps on your phone and on your social media accounts. You can limit tracking, request that companies delete data…<\/p>\n
