Single Request System to Delete Personal Data from All Data Brokers.

This Act establishes a centralized system managed by the FTC, allowing citizens to request the simultaneous deletion of all their personal information held by registered data brokers using a single online submission. This significantly simplifies the process of exercising privacy rights, as individuals no longer need to contact each company separately. Data brokers must comply with these deletion requests regularly and face mandatory audits to ensure adherence.
Key points
Citizens gain the power to delete all their personal data held by data brokers through one centralized, free online request.
Data brokers must register annually with the FTC, disclosing the types of data they collect and their opt-out procedures.
The system uses advanced security (hashing) to protect the identity and contact information of individuals making deletion requests.
Data brokers must delete the information within 31 days of identifying the request and are subject to mandatory third-party audits every three years.
