Bill > AB566

This bill enhances consumer privacy protections by requiring web browsers and browser engines to include a built-in setting that allows users to easily send an "opt-out preference signal" to businesses, preventing those businesses from selling or sharing the user's personal information. Specifically, the bill mandates that browsers and browser engines must have a readily accessible setting for consumers to communicate their desire to opt out of data sales and sharing, and that the companies developing these technologies must clearly explain in their public disclosures how this opt-out signal works and what types of personal information it covers. The bill builds upon the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), continuing the state's efforts to give consumers more control over their personal data. While an earlier draft of the bill also included provisions for mobile operating systems, that section has been removed in this version. The California Privacy Protection Agency is authorized to create additional regulations to implement these requirements, and the bill explicitly states that its purpose is to further the goals of the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020.
