Right to Delete Online Data Collected Before Age 13.

This bill grants individuals over the age of 13 the right to request the deletion of all personal information collected by internet operators when they were children. Companies must provide a clear mechanism for these requests and promptly remove the data, overriding any previous parental consent. This aims to give citizens greater control over their digital footprint from childhood.
Key points
Individuals over 13 can demand the deletion of all personal data collected by online services before their 13th birthday.
Operators must prominently display how to request deletion and provide written confirmation once the data is permanently removed.
Data retention is only allowed in limited cases, such as responding to judicial processes or for public safety investigations.
