Bill > HB367

This bill, titled the Consumer Data Privacy Act, establishes new regulations for how businesses handle consumer personal information in Alaska. It mandates that businesses must notify consumers before collecting their personal data, clearly stating what information will be collected, why it's needed, and consumers' rights regarding the sale or sharing of their data. Businesses will also be required to maintain detailed online privacy policies outlining consumer rights, the types of personal information collected, sold, or disclosed, the sources of this information, and the third parties with whom it's shared. The bill introduces a "Do Not Collect or Sell My Personal Information" link on business websites and grants consumers the right to request access to or deletion of their personal information, with specific timelines for businesses to respond. Furthermore, it introduces registration requirements for data brokers, which are businesses that collect and sell personal information to third parties without a direct relationship with the consumer. Violations of these provisions will be considered unfair or deceptive trade practices, and the bill sets an effective date of January 1, 2027, with some provisions taking effect immediately.
