"A national privacy law that is clear and fair to business and empowering to consumers will foster the digital ecosystem necessary for America to compete," the groups said in a letter addressed members of Congress.
Privacy proposals would cover online interactions but could be broader than just tech, and could include financial services or other sectors of the economy.
