Technology (Privacy)

SB 1535 amends Oklahoma's Personal Privacy Protection Act to clarify when public agencies may disclose "personal affiliation information" (data identifying people as members, donors, or volunteers of 501(c) nonprofit organizations). It generally prohibits public agencies from requiring or disclosing this information but adds specific exceptions, such as for lawful court orders, Attorney General investigations, or court proceedings with protective orders to prevent public release. The bill directly affects individuals who support nonprofits and public agencies handling such data, ensuring privacy while allowing limited disclosures under strict legal conditions. It becomes effective November 1, 2026.
