Online Privacy Protection: Your Data Under Control

This act strengthens your online privacy rights, giving you more control over how companies collect, use, and share your data. It also introduces a "Do Not Track" system to protect you from unwanted data collection and advertising. This will give you a clearer picture of what happens to your information online.
Key points
You have the right to know what data is collected about you, to whom it is transferred, and for what purpose.
You can request to delete or correct your data, and companies must obtain your consent to collect and share it.
A nationwide "Do Not Track" system will be established, allowing you to block data collection for advertising purposes.
Companies cannot condition service access on waiving your privacy rights.
The act provides for financial penalties for companies that violate these rules, and state authorities can also take legal action.
