Consumer Data Privacy: New Rights and Obligations for Businesses and Citizens.
This act introduces new rules for how companies collect, process, and share your personal data. It gives you greater control over your information, providing rights to know, access, and delete your data. Companies will need to be more transparent and secure in managing your data.
Key points
Greater Data Control: You have the right to know what data is collected, request copies, correct, and delete it.
Consent Required: Companies need your consent to collect and process data, especially sensitive data, unless necessary for service provision or legal compliance.
Data Security: Companies must implement robust safeguards to protect your data from unauthorized access.
Business Transparency: Companies must publish clear privacy policies and inform you of any material changes in data management.
Enforcement: The Federal Trade Commission and State Attorneys General will enforce these rules, with potential financial penalties for non-compliant companies.
