SYNOPSIS
This Act is a substitute for House Bill No. 359. This Act, like House Bill No. 359, changes the applicability of the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act. This Act differs from House Bill No. 359 because instead of applying all of the provisions of the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act to the State government, this Act limits the application to the State government only for purposes of a consumer enforcing a right under § 12D-104(a)(6) of Title 6 of the Delaware Code to opt out of the processing of the consumer’s personal data for the purpose of targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.
