Data Privacy - Consumer Data, Public Records, and Message Switching System (Data Privacy Act)

Summary

The Data Privacy Act prohibits any data controller from selling a consumer’s personal data when the buyer intends to use it for immigration enforcement or when the consumer is a minor. It also requires public‑record custodians and message‑switching system operators to adopt rules that prevent unauthorized access and to check whether data requests are aimed at immigration enforcement. The law expands definitions of personal, precise geolocation, and sensitive data and updates several commercial‑law sections.
