Explanation

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) is a federal agency that promotes economic growth, trade, and innovation, but does not have regulatory authority related to privacy. The DOC administers several voluntary privacy frameworks, such as the Privacy Shield, the APEC Cross- Border Privacy Rules, and the NIST Privacy Framework, but these are not legally binding or enforceable by the DOC. The DOC also participates in international privacy negotiations and dialogues, but does not have the power to issue rules or regulations on privacy matters.
