Bill > SB1343

This bill enhances data broker transparency and consumer privacy protections by modifying two key sections of the Texas Business & Commerce Code. Specifically, the bill requires data brokers to post a more comprehensive notice on their websites and mobile applications that not only identifies the entity as a data broker but also provides clear instructions on how consumers can exercise their privacy rights. Additionally, the bill mandates that data brokers' registration statements now include a direct link to a webpage with specific, prominently displayed instructions on how consumers can exercise their rights under Section 541.051 and other applicable data privacy laws. The new requirements aim to make it easier for consumers to understand what data brokers do and how they can protect their personal information, with the changes applying to registration statements submitted on or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025. The bill is part of a broader legislative effort to improve data privacy and give consumers more control over their personal information.
