New York Privacy Act

The New York Privacy Act, reintroduced in the State Senate and Assembly in February 2022, proposes comprehensive consumer privacy rights. These include rights of access, correction, and the ability to challenge automated decision-making. The Assembly version differs by requiring reasonable security measures and specific consumer notifications and consent. Although prior versions failed, the reintroduction indicates growing legislative momentum. If enacted, New York would join states like California and Virginia in advancing privacy protections at the state level.
