Bill Summary

This bill requires entities that compile or maintain computerized records that include geolocation data to disclose to consumers breaches of security of geolocation information. Under current law, businesses and public entities are required to disclose breaches that involve personal information. Under current law, "personal information" is defined as an individual's first name or first initial and last name linked with any one or more of the following data elements: Social Security number; driver's license number, or credit or debit card number, in combination with any required security code, access code, or password that would permit access to an individual's financial account. The bill adds geolocation data to the definition of "personal information" so that a breach of geolocation data would require businesses and public entities to disclose the breach to consumers.

AI Summary

This bill requires entities that compile or maintain computerized records containing geolocation data to disclose to consumers any breaches of security of that geolocation information. The bill adds "geolocation" to the definition of "personal information" under current law, so that a breach of geolocation data would require businesses and public entities to disclose the breach to consumers, just as they are required to do for breaches of other types of personal information like Social Security numbers or financial account numbers.
