Bill > SB63

This bill establishes comprehensive regulations for processing children's online data in Nevada, focusing on protecting minors under 13 years old. The bill requires online service providers (called "controllers") to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting or processing a child's personal data and imposes strict limitations on how that data can be used. Controllers are prohibited from using children's data for targeted advertising, selling personal information, or profiling children in ways that could significantly impact their lives. The bill mandates that data collection must be necessary for providing the specific online service and limited in duration. Controllers must also conduct and retain detailed data protection assessments for any online services targeting children, which must evaluate potential benefits and risks to children's privacy. The Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority, with controllers given 30 days to remedy any violations. Importantly, the bill does not create a private right of action, meaning individuals cannot sue directly, but the Attorney General can investigate and penalize violations as deceptive trade practices. The regulations will go into effect on January 1, 2026, giving businesses time to prepare for compliance, and apply to online services targeting Nevada residents, with exemptions for certain types of organizations and data processing activities.
