What is the official ID of this bill?
The official print number for this legislation is S 4082.
Surveillance Reform Act: Enhanced Privacy and Data Protection for Citizens.
This legislation significantly strengthens your digital privacy against government and law enforcement surveillance. Federal agencies will no longer be able to buy your personal data from brokers or access your web browsing history, location, or car data without a warrant. These changes ensure your daily digital life is better protected from unjustified access.
Key points
Federal agencies are banned from purchasing personal data (like location or biometrics) from private data brokers without a warrant.
A court warrant is now required for law enforcement to access your web browsing history, search queries, and location data.
Protection for car data: authorities must obtain a warrant to access information from your vehicle's onboard computer.
No more warrantless access to old emails: the rule allowing easier access to emails older than 180 days has been eliminated.
Stricter rules for intelligence agencies to prevent the intentional or accidental spying on citizens during foreign surveillance.
