For the second year in a row, the New York State Legislature
will consider whether to adopt its own version of the California
Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"). We have written
extensively about the CCPA, including a recent primer on
CCPA basics. SB 567 (the "Act"), known colloquially
as the NY CCPA, shares a lot in common with its California State
counterpart, but it has some key differences. You can read the text
of the Act
here. Please note that we recently blogged about a competing
New York consumer privacy bill which can be found
here.
What does the NY CCPA require?
NY CCPA Requirements
Under the proposed legislation, certain businesses must alert
consumers that they may sell consumer personal data, and that
consumers have the right to opt-out of such sale. Businesses must
create and maintain privacy policies that are easily accessible to
consumers and include, as needed, New York-specific language to
comply with the Act.
