Bill > A03818

This bill establishes the New York Data Protection Act, which requires government entities and their contractors to disclose certain personal information they have collected about individuals upon request. The bill defines "personal information" broadly and gives individuals the right to request disclosure and deletion of this information. It also places limitations on how government entities and contractors can share and use personal information, and prohibits them from discriminating against individuals who exercise their rights under the act. The bill includes provisions to ensure accessibility and compliance, and provides the state Attorney General with the authority to offer guidance on compliance.
