Texas passed a Data privacy and security Act.

This is a big W for consumers in Texas

    Requires consent before a company is allowed to sell biometric data. I can’t believe that’s legal at all.

      Where does it say that? It only says that the controller must mention it in their privacy policy.

    Requires small businesses, as defined by the United States Small Business Administration, to receive consent from consumers before selling consumers’ sensitive data;*

    Why carve out exceptions…

        My theory is that small businesses are exempt, expect for consent.

        I have to read the entire bill, to get an idea of exactly how it is worded, and what is intended.

        I’ll be back shortly

          ok… so unfortunately ‘small businesses’, which is dependent upon the SBA’s definiton, seem to be exempt expect for the ‘consent’ clause
