Consumer Online Privacy Rights Act: New Data Protections
This act aims to give citizens more control over their personal data online. It introduces new rights for accessing, deleting, and correcting data, and limits how companies can collect and share user information. This is intended to enhance data security and protect against unfair practices.
Key points
You have the right to know what data about you is collected and shared, and to receive a copy of it.
You can request the deletion or correction of your data, and companies must inform other entities they shared it with.
Companies cannot collect or share your sensitive data (e.g., health, financial) without your explicit consent.
The act prohibits discrimination based on personal data, such as in access to housing or employment.
Whistleblower protections are introduced for reporting data privacy violations.
