Is EPIC ignorant of companies retaining information for their own use? How many pieces of data, from pictures and messages, or even entire accounts, that consumers have intentionally deleted, are later found to still be retained? Nothing about changing the law will guarantee that records are not kept, and EPIC doesn't seem to be speaking to the responsibility of the record keepers in securing their data.
