SECURE Data Act

This bill would create a national set of consumer data privacy rules for larger businesses that collect personal data. Consumers could see, correct, delete, and move their data, and opt out of targeted ads, the sale of their data, and certain automated decisions; companies would need consent before processing sensitive data and parental consent for teens. Data brokers would have to register each year with the Federal Trade Commission, which would keep a public registry. The Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general would enforce the law after giving companies 45 days to fix a violation. The bill would block state and local laws that relate to its provisions and exempt governments, nonprofits, colleges, and certain financial and health entities.
