Bill Summary
Requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish requirements for entities providing services to the public that collect, store, process, use, or otherwise control sensitive personal information. Information relating to an identifiable individual is generally considered sensitive personal information. However, information that is publicly available is not considered sensitive.The FTC must require controllers of sensitive personal information to (1) provide consumers with a privacy and data use policy, (2) obtain affirmative consent to collect or use consumers' sensitive data, and (3) obtain an annual privacy audit that evaluates the sufficiency of the controller's data privacy and security controls.
AI Summary
This bill, the Information Transparency & Personal Data Control Act, requires the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish regulations for entities that collect, store, process, sell, or share sensitive personal information from U.S. persons or those located in the U.S. Key provisions include requiring these entities to obtain affirmative, express, and opt-in consent from consumers, provide a clear and transparent privacy and data use policy, and undergo annual privacy audits. The bill also gives the FTC authority to enforce these regulations and provides additional funding and staff for the agency to focus on privacy and data security issues. The bill preempts some state laws related to the regulation of sensitive personal information, but preserves certain consumer protection laws and other state statutes.
