SB 1815: personal data; consumers; controllers; requirements

SB 1815 establishes Arizona's first comprehensive data privacy law for businesses handling consumer personal data. It directly affects businesses operating in Arizona that process personal data of state residents, requiring them to obtain clear, affirmative consumer consent for data processing and prohibiting deceptive "dark patterns" that trick users into sharing data. Key provisions define sensitive data types (like biometrics and precise location), set strict standards for valid consent, and ban practices that subvert user choice. The law also restricts the "sale" of personal data and includes specific exemptions for health records and publicly available information.

SB 1794: election officers; privacy protections.

SB 1794 allows eligible individuals, including certain public officials and people under protection orders, to request privacy protections for their personal information in county property records. To qualify, applicants must submit an affidavit detailing safety concerns and specific property details to a court, which then reviews and may order the county recorder to block public access to their identifying information for up to five years. The bill specifically restricts access to unique identifiers and recording dates in property indexes, not the underlying documents themselves. This applies to records maintained by county recorders, assessors, and treasurers, with requests requiring court approval based on demonstrated safety risks.

SB 1743: campaign finance; individual contributor information

SB 1743 requires campaign finance filing officers (like county clerks and the secretary of state) to redact individual donors' exact home addresses and employers from publicly available campaign finance reports.

These changes aim to enhance privacy for campaign contributors without altering contribution limits or donation rules.
