Protecting Military Data: Ban on Selling Servicemember Lists to Covered Nations.
This law prohibits data brokers from selling or sharing lists containing personal information about current and former U.S. military servicemembers with specific foreign nations deemed a security risk. The goal is to enhance national security and protect military personnel from having their sensitive data exploited by foreign governments. Enforcement will be handled by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and State Attorneys General.
Key points
Data brokers are banned from selling or licensing lists of current or former servicemembers' personal data to designated "covered nations."
The prohibition covers private personal information but excludes data already available in public records.
Violations are treated as unfair trade practices, allowing the FTC and states to seek injunctions and compensation for affected individuals.
