AB 1950 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Consumers: Internet privacy.

Summary

Existing law requires an operator of a commercial Web site or online service that collects personally identifiable information through the Internet about individual consumers residing in California who use or visit its commercial Web site or online service to conspicuously post its privacy policy on its Web site or to make that policy available, as specified, and to comply with that policy. Existing law requires the privacy policy to, among other things, disclose whether other parties may collect personally identifiable information about an individual consumer's online activities over time and across different Web sites when a consumer uses the operator's Web site or service. This bill would require the privacy policy also to disclose that the operator utilizes bots for the dissemination of information and that bots are software that can execute commands, reply to messages, gather information, or perform routine tasks such as online searches, either automatically or with minimal human intervention.
