This week’s amendment added even more types of information that would need to be disclosed to the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), including whether the data broker collects consumers’ names, birth dates, ZIP codes, email addresses, phone numbers or mobile-ad, connected-television or vehicle identification numbers. That’s on top of what SB-361 previously required for disclosure, including login or account information, government ID numbers, citizenship data, union membership status, sexual orientation status, gender identity and gender expression data and biometric data.
Also, the amended SB-361 would require data brokers to disclose one to three “of the most common types of personal information that the data broker collects,” said a bill summary.
However, while existing law requires the CPPA to display data broker registration information on its website for the public, SB-361 would prohibit the agency from posting online the various additions that the latest amendment would require.
In addition, the amended bill would set a 45-day deadline for data brokers to “process a denied request to delete personal information as an opt-out of the sale or sharing of the consumer’s personal information under the” California Consumer Protection Act, it said.
SB-361 is one of many privacy and AI bills nearing the finish line as California lawmakers near the end of the legislative session (see 2508150016).
