As noted above the use of IoT devices span multiple industries including, medicine, health, transportation, and recreation. The FTC may be deemed the primary regulator of Io T devices due to it’s broad mandate and authority to regulate consumer protection. Other agencies may get involved if the device falls within its purview such as the FDA for medical devices or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for connected vehicles. In any event the patchwork of federal, state, and global laws governing privacy and data security as covered in the A Legal Guide to Privacy and Data Security 202 5 will have to be considered where IoT devices are used to capture, store, or transmit personal information.
