Requires disclosure of breach of security of geolocation data.

This bill (A1779) requires businesses and public entities in New Jersey to disclose security breaches involving geolocation data to affected consumers. It amends existing law by adding "geolocation" (the location of an individual determined by electronic devices like phones or tablets) to the definition of "personal information," which already includes Social Security numbers and financial account details. Under this bill, entities that collect geolocation data must notify consumers if a breach compromises that data, aligning geolocation protection with current requirements for other personal information. The law applies to businesses (including corporations and financial institutions) and public entities that maintain such data.
