Bill > S142

This bill, the American Data Dissemination (ADD) Act of 2019, aims to impose privacy requirements on providers of internet services similar to the requirements imposed on federal agencies under the Privacy Act of 1974. The key provisions of the bill include: 1. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is required to recommend legislative action and propose regulations to impose privacy requirements on covered internet service providers, such as restricting the disclosure of user records, providing users the right to access and correct their records, and establishing practices for the collection and maintenance of records. 2. The FTC is directed to exempt certain small, newly formed internet service providers from the regulations based on factors like the provider's operating period, annual revenue, and the number of individuals about whom it collects records. 3. The bill establishes a process for individuals to dispute the accuracy, relevance, timeliness, or completeness of records maintained by internet service providers and requires providers to amend those records upon request. 4. The bill allows the FTC to enforce these regulations as violations of unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and it supersedes any conflicting state laws related to the maintenance of records or personally identifiable information by covered internet service providers.
