Protecting Investor Data: Less Personal Information for SEC Reporting

This act limits the collection of investors' personal information by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for transaction reporting. This means your data, such as name, address, or Social Security number, will be less frequently collected and stored by the SEC, enhancing your privacy. The Commission can only request this data for specific investigations into legal violations and must destroy it after the case concludes.
