Florida House of Representatives Passes Florida Privacy Protection Act
The Florida House of Representatives passed the Florida Privacy Protection Act, HB 969, on a 118-1 vote.
The bill gives Floridians the right to know what information companies have collected about them, the right to delete and correct that information, the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information, strong limits on the retention of their data, and additional protections for their children’s privacy.
Critically, the bill would create robust enforcement mechanisms, including a private right of action, to ensure companies do not flout the law.
