AI Summary
This bill introduces the Oklahoma Computer Data Privacy Act, a comprehensive law designed to protect consumers' personal data and provide them with greater control over their information. The bill applies to businesses that meet certain revenue or data collection thresholds and requires them to disclose what personal information they collect, sell, or share. Consumers are granted several key rights, including the ability to request disclosure of their personal information, request deletion of their data, and opt out of the sale of their personal information to third parties. Businesses must provide clear privacy policies, obtain consumer consent before collecting or selling data, and implement reasonable security measures to protect personal information. The act prohibits businesses from discriminating against consumers who exercise their privacy rights and allows for financial incentives for data collection with strict consent requirements. Violations of the act can result in civil penalties up to $7,500 per intentional violation, with enforcement handled by the Oklahoma Attorney General. The law aims to give consumers more transparency and control over their personal data while providing a framework for businesses to responsibly handle consumer information.
