Requires retailers to post warning signs of the tracking and collecting of customers biometric data through electronic devices
This bill requires retailers to post clear warning signs at all entrances if they track customers using cell phones, cameras, or other electronic devices that collect personal data. The signs must inform shoppers how to opt out of tracking and apply to all retailers using such technology for data collection. Retailers violating this rule face civil penalties: $100 for the first offense, $250 for the second, and $500 for each subsequent violation. The law explicitly excludes security cameras solely for store safety, focusing only on tracking for data collection purposes.
