Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to disclosing to a parent the personal information and content about a minor collected by an operator of an internet platform

AI Summary

This bill amends the New York General Business Law to require internet platforms and online services to disclose specific personal information about minors (defined as children under 13) to verified parents upon request. The bill defines key terms such as "operator" (a commercial internet platform), "platform" (an application or website), and "verified parent" (a legal guardian). When a verified parent requests information, the operator must provide digital or physical copies of advertisements and content shown to the minor, based on the minor's identifiers (tracking information generated from the child's online activity). The bill includes two important limitations: operators are not required to disclose information during periods when they were unaware of the child's age, and they can be excused from disclosure if unforeseen circumstances prevent sharing the information. The primary goal of this legislation is to increase parental transparency and control over the digital content and data collection practices targeting children under 13 on internet platforms.
