Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would set rules for how large online companies and data brokers collect, keep, and share personal data about people in the United States. It would bar these companies from asking users to share their contacts unless both the user and the contacts agree in writing, and would let users see, correct, delete, and download their data for free at least twice a year. It would require companies to delete browsing history and biometric data within 60 days, get a parent's consent before collecting data from users under 18, and get user permission before using tracking cookies. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general could enforce the rules, and individuals could sue large companies for $100 to $750 per violation.
