Requires Internet service providers to keep confidential subscriber's personally identifiable information unless subscriber authorizes Internet service provider in writing to disclose information.
This bill requires Internet service providers (ISPs) in New Jersey to keep subscribers' personally identifiable information confidential unless the subscriber provides written authorization to share it. It defines "personally identifiable information" broadly to include names, addresses, phone numbers, browsing history, location data, and communication contents. ISPs must notify subscribers in writing about this requirement and cannot deny service for refusing to authorize disclosure. Exceptions apply for routine business activities (like order fulfillment) or disclosures required by law under New Jersey's wiretapping regulations.
