Bill Subjects

Internet Websites Personal Information

Abstract

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 grants to a consumer various rights with respect to personal information, as defined, that is collected by a business, as defined, including the right to request that a business delete personal information about the consumer that the business has collected from the consumer. This bill would prohibit a business from making covered personal information publicly available on its internet website. The bill would also require a business that sells personal information through an internet website to retain identifying information of the customer that purchases that personal information and to make that identifying information available upon request to the subject of the personal information purchased by the customer. The bill would define "covered personal information" to mean certain information that identifies a natural person, including the natural person's personal address. The bill would punish a violation of the prohibition against a business making covered personal information publicly available on its internet website by a civil penalty of $200 per day, as specified.
