Bill > HB1126

This bill establishes the Consumer Data Privacy Act, which aims to protect the private, personal data of consumers in Pennsylvania. The key provisions include: 1. Giving consumers the right to know what personal information is being collected about them, whether it is sold or disclosed, and the ability to opt out of the sale of their personal information. 2. Requiring businesses that collect personal information to disclose the categories of information collected, the sources, the purpose, and the categories of third parties with whom it is shared. 3. Allowing consumers to request deletion of their personal information, with some exceptions, and prohibiting businesses from discriminating against consumers who exercise their rights. 4. Placing obligations on businesses to provide clear notice to consumers about their rights and how to exercise them, including a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on their website. 5. Allowing the Attorney General to enforce the law through civil penalties, and allowing consumers to bring civil actions for data breaches resulting from a business's failure to maintain reasonable security procedures. The bill aims to give consumers more control over their personal data and hold businesses accountable for how they collect, use, and protect that information.
