Promoting Digital Privacy Technologies Act

This bill directs the National Science Foundation to fund competitive research on privacy-enhancing technologies (like tools that anonymize data or secure data sharing) through merit-reviewed grants. It requires coordination with NIST and the FTC to accelerate development and adoption of these technologies in both public and private sectors. The bill also mandates a 3-year report to Congress on research progress, voluntary industry resources, and policy recommendations for broader use. It primarily affects researchers, tech developers, and organizations handling personal data by creating federal research support and coordination mechanisms.
