S 4211

The Consumer Data Privacy and Security Act of 2026 aims to protect consumer privacy by establishing rules for how companies collect, process, and use personal data. It requires companies (called ‘covered entities’) to obtain consent from individuals before collecting or processing their data, except in limited circumstances like providing services or complying with laws. The bill also grants consumers rights to know what data is collected, how it’s used, and to request deletion or correction of their information, while establishing security standards and accountability measures for companies.
