Stops companies from selling your health and location data unless you clearly say it's okay.
This bill would stop data brokers from selling your private health and location information. It would make it illegal for these companies to share data about where you go or your health conditions. This would not apply if you give clear permission or if it's for specific medical reasons. This bill would give you more control over your private data by banning its sale.
Today, data brokers can generally sell or transfer your sensitive health and location data without a federal ban. If this bill becomes law, it would be illegal for data brokers to sell or share this information. It would also be illegal for anyone to sell it to them. This ban would not apply if specific exceptions are met, such as your direct permission or HIPAA-compliant medical sharing.
