A 2419 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits providers of commercial mobile service and developers of mobile application from disclosing customer's global position system data to third parties under certain circumstances.

This bill (A2419) prohibits New Jersey-based commercial mobile service providers (like phone companies) and mobile app developers from sharing customers' GPS location data with third parties without explicit consent. It requires app developers to display a clear, bold notice asking users to actively agree ("I agree to allow my location data to be disclosed to a third party") before sharing location data. Exceptions apply for disclosures required by law, law enforcement, or court orders. Violations would be treated as consumer fraud under New Jersey law, with fines up to $20,000 per offense. The bill directly affects all mobile app users in New Jersey whose location data is collected by apps or phone services.
