This act aims to ensure that government agencies properly implement rules for electronic consent regarding personal data sharing.

Agencies will need to explain why they haven't implemented these rules and provide future plans.
Key points
Increased control over how government agencies collect and use your personal data online.
Facilitating electronic identity verification and consent for information sharing.
Requirement for agencies to report on compliance with data protection guidelines, with corrective plans if needed.
