The council member asks if New York State should take a comprehensive approach to protecting personal data instead of addressing different types of data separately like 18 other states have done.

  • The executive director responds that New York needs to be more aggressive in protecting residents' data
  • He suggests a comprehensive protection against biometric data collection and location data collection would be a milestone for the state
  • His response depends on the specifics of the potential law

I I think it would depend on the specifics of the law, but I'd say that New York needs to be much more aggressive in protecting its residence data.

And I think that a more comprehensive protection against biometric data collection in particular and location data collection would be an incredible milestone for the state.
