Online Privacy Act of 2023
The Online Privacy Act of 2023 establishes comprehensive privacy rights for U.S. individuals, granting them the right to access, correct, delete, and port their personal information. It creates a new Digital Privacy Agency to enforce these rules, requiring companies that collect personal information (covered entities) to follow strict data minimization practices, obtain express consent for certain uses, and provide clear privacy policies. The bill prohibits selling personal information without consent, restricts behavioral personalization without express consent, and bans "dark patterns" in privacy notices, while requiring companies to implement security measures and notify individuals of data breaches.
