Bill > HB692

This bill, effective July 1, 2027, amends the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act by defining "automatic content recognition data" as information collected through technology embedded in internet-connected smart televisions or monitors that identifies content by analyzing audio or video fingerprints, and "smart monitor" as a digital display device with internet connectivity and application execution capabilities independent of an external computer. Crucially, it includes this automatic content recognition data within the definition of "sensitive data," meaning companies will now need consumer consent to collect and process it, similar to other sensitive information like health diagnoses or racial origin, and it also adds a specific requirement for consent to collect automatic content recognition data.
