A 2067 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires disclosure of breach of security of geolocation data.

This bill amends New Jersey's data breach law to require businesses and public entities to disclose security breaches involving geolocation data. It adds "geolocation" (the location of an individual determined by electronic devices like phones or tablets) to the legal definition of "personal information," which already includes Social Security numbers and financial account details. Under the change, if a breach compromises geolocation data, the entity must notify affected consumers, just as they currently must for other personal information breaches. This expands existing disclosure requirements to cover location data collected by apps, services, or devices.
