New Online Privacy Rules: Your Data Under Control
This act introduces new rules on how internet and online service providers can use your data. They will have to clearly inform you about their privacy policies and ask for your consent to use your information, especially sensitive data.
Key points
Internet and online service providers must clearly disclose their privacy policies.
Your explicit consent (opt-in) is required for the use of sensitive data like financial, health, or browsing history.
For less sensitive data, implied consent (opt-out) is required, which you can withdraw.
Access to services cannot be conditioned on waiving privacy rights.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will enforce these regulations.
The act preempts certain state and federal laws regarding online data privacy.
