Fourth Amendment Protection: Government Must Get Warrants, Not Buy Your Data.
This Act strengthens your privacy rights by preventing law enforcement and intelligence agencies from purchasing sensitive personal data, such as location information, browsing history, or communication records, from data brokers. It mandates that the government must obtain a court order to access this information, closing a loophole that allowed agencies to bypass constitutional warrant requirements. Evidence obtained in violation of these rules cannot be used in court.
