"New Jersey Disclosure and Accountability Transparency Act (NJ DaTA)"; establishes certain requirements for disclosure and processing of personally identifiable information; establishes Office of Data Protection and Responsible Use in Division of Consumer Affairs.

This bill, S 2052 (NJ DaTA), creates new privacy rules for businesses handling New Jersey residents' personal data. It requires companies ("controllers") to get explicit consumer consent before collecting or processing personal information, limits data use to specific purposes, and mandates security measures. The law establishes a new Office of Data Protection within the Division of Consumer Affairs to enforce these rules and handle consumer requests. It directly affects businesses operating in New Jersey that collect personal data and gives residents rights to access, correct, or port their data. The bill is pending in the Senate Commerce Committee and would not take effect until enacted.
