SB 63 Nevada Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Revises provisions relating to the processing of certain data. (BDR 52-505)

SB 63 strengthens protections for children's online data by requiring online services targeting children in this state to obtain verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information or precise geolocation data. It prohibits controllers (service providers) from using children's data for targeted advertising, selling it, or profiling them, and mandates data protection assessments for child-focused services. The law also requires strict handling of de-identified data to prevent re-identification and treats violations as deceptive trade practices, with enforcement solely by the Attorney General. It directly affects any online platform offering services, products, or features directed at children under 13 within the state.

MAJOR

This bill was reprinted with amendments that significantly expanded its scope from focusing on minor users to addressing broader data processing activities. The changes include new requirements for de-identified data handling, expanded definitions of controllers, and additional protections against further processing of children's data beyond the original purposes disclosed. These amendments strengthen privacy protections and add new compliance obligations for online service providers.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from primarily regulating algorithmic recommendations and notification timing for minors to include broader data processing requirements for controllers, including new obligations around de-identified data and expanded prohibitions on further processing children's data.

SCOPE

Title and summary changed from focusing on 'use of certain online products and services by minors' to 'processing of certain data' to reflect broader data protection focus

REQUIREMENT

New section 32.5 requires controllers with de-identified data to commit not to re-identify it and contractually bind recipients to comply with the same requirements

Section 33 expanded to prohibit further processing of children's data for purposes other than those disclosed to the child, unless necessary and compatible with the original purpose

Section 33 now requires controllers to disclose to children the purposes of additional processing when collecting their data with intent to process further

Section 34 now requires data protection assessments for each processing activity directed at children, with provisions for submitting assessments to the Attorney General

Section 32 exemptions now include 'activities' in addition to entities and types of data

DEFINITION

Section 27 definition of 'controller' now explicitly includes determining 'the purpose and means of processing personal data'
