Bill > HB692

This bill, effective July 1, 2027, amends the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act by adding definitions for "automatic content recognition data" and "smart monitor," and importantly, includes "automatic content recognition data" within the definition of "sensitive data." Automatic content recognition data refers to information collected by technology embedded in internet-connected smart televisions or smart monitors that identifies content being displayed by analyzing audio or video fingerprints, such as content from streaming services or broadcasts, but it excludes data collected by the service provider itself, data generated from a requested feature, or data collected to enforce terms of service. The bill also clarifies that collecting this type of automatic content recognition data will now require consumer consent, aligning it with other types of sensitive data that already necessitate such permission under the Act.
