The White House said internet users should have the right to limit the context in which information was collected, should be allowed to correct information and should have the right to transparency in privacy policies. Companies like Google and Facebook have signed on to develop guidelines based on the "bill of rights", enforceable by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
"American consumers can't wait any longer for clear rules of the road that ensure their personal information is safe online," Mr Obama said. "As the internet evolves, consumer trust is essential for the continued growth of the digital economy."

I don't know about working with Google, but I'm pretty excited that Facebook will be in on designing effective privacy rights and policies for consumer protections!
