If a controller sells a consumer's personal data to one or more third parties or engages in targeted advertising, the controller must clearly and conspicuously disclose to the consumer the manner in which the consumer may exercise the right to opt out. A controller must establish, implement, and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data security practices designed to protect confidentiality, protect data integrity, and reduce harm. A controller may not process sensitive data collected from a consumer without (A) notifying the consumer of their option to opt out; and (B), in the case of the processing of personal data concerning a known child, processing the data in accordance with the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. A controller may not discriminate against a consumer for exercising any of these rights. The attorney general will establish and administer a system to receive consumer complaints regarding a controller's or processor's alleged violation of any of the aforementioned provisions.

Last Action Date: REFERRED TO INVESTIGATIONS AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS. January 03, 2024

Summary: This bill amends New York executive law, enacting the New York Data Protection Act and making broad changes to data privacy law. The bill stipulates that any individual has the right to request that a government entity or contractor that collects personal information disclosed to such individual the categories and specific pieces of personal information such government entity or contractor has collected. A government entity that collects an individual's personal information must, at or before the point of collection, inform the individual as to the categories of personal information to be collected and the purposes for which such categories of personal information will be used. This information must be delivered free of charge. These provisions do not, however, require an entity to retain any personal information collected for a single, one-time transaction if such information is not shared or retained by such government entity or contractor, nor does it require an entity to re-identify or otherwise link information that is not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information. Upon request from an individual to have their personal data deleted, an entity must do so, instructing its associated entities to do the same, unless the data must be kept for legal reasons or other caveats.

Introduction Date: May 19, 2023

Last Action Date: REFERRED TO CODES. January 03, 2024

Summary: This bill, the New York Privacy Act, establishes privacy rights and regulations for legal entities operating in New York or offering products and services to New York residents. The act applies to entities meeting certain thresholds, such as having annual gross revenue of $25 million or more, processing personal data of 50,000 or more consumers, or deriving over 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data. However, there are exemptions to the act, including personal data processed by state and local governments, certain nonprofit entities, and data regulated by federal laws like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, among others. Specifically, the act grants consumers certain rights, including the right to be notified about the processing of their personal data. Controllers must provide a notice containing information about the consumer's rights, categories of personal data processed, sources of data collection, purposes of the processing, and categories of third parties with whom the data is shared or sold. Consumers also have the right to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling that affects legal or significant decisions. Controllers must provide clear means for opting out and must not process personal data for opted-out purposes. The act also requires explicit opt-in consent for processing sensitive data, with clear disclosure and distinction between necessary and non-necessary processing purposes. In addition, this bill requires controllers to conduct regular data protection assessments for processing activities that pose a heightened risk to consumers, such as targeting advertising, selling personal data, and processing sensitive data. These assessments should consider the benefits and potential risks to consumers, as well as employ safeguards to mitigate those risks. The attorney general may request disclosure of these assessments for investigation purposes, and they should remain confidential. Controllers must not engage in unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts when obtaining consumer consent or processing personal data. They must also implement reasonable safeguards to protect the security and integrity of consumer data and limit its use and retention to what is necessary. Non-discrimination provisions prohibit controllers from discriminating against consumers who exercise their rights under the bill. Controllers must enter into written contracts with processors before disclosing personal data, ensuring confidentiality, data protection, and compliance with the controller's instructions. Processors have obligations to protect personal data and comply with consumer rights. Processors are exempt from complying with consumer requests if they have only processed data as instructed by the controller. The bill also prohibits the sale of personal data by processors unless authorized by the controller. Finally, this bill establishes enforcement mechanisms and penalties and allows consumers to exercise the rights established in this bill.

This bill also prohibits businesses from sharing personal data with third parties unless it is necessary to provide a requested good or service or for security purposes or fraud detection, and denying service or altering prices or services based on a consumer's rights granted in the measure. This bill will allow businesses to incentivize consumers to share their data by providing discounts or payments to consumers who voluntarily participate in a program that rewards consumers for repeated transactions, limit records requests to twice per 12-month period for each consumer, and charge a fee in the case of baseless or excessive verifiable consumer requests.
