What This Means

The Illinois Consumer Data Privacy Act introduces significant consumer rights regarding personal data, impacting businesses that handle such data. It mandates transparency and control for consumers over their personal information, including rights to access, correct, delete data, and opt out of profiling. The bill applies to businesses operating in Illinois that control or process data of at least 100,000 consumers or 25,000 consumers with over 50% revenue from data sales, creating new compliance requirements. It also establishes the Consumer Privacy Fund administered by the Office of the Attorney General. Additionally, it amends the Freedom of Information Act to exempt data protection impact assessments from disclosure and makes a conforming change in the State Finance Act. The Attorney General has exclusive authority to enforce the consumer data privacy rights under the Act. While the official description mentions exemptions, the full bill text might specify which entities are exempt.
