Primary S 332

Passed · New Jersey Senate · Lead sponsor

Requires notification to consumers of collection and disclosure of personal data by certain entities.*

Maddy summaryNew Jersey's S 332 requires commercial websites and online services (like e-commerce platforms) to clearly notify consumers about how their personal data is collected and shared. Specifically, operators must disclose on their websites the categories of personal information they collect (e.g., names, email addresses) and the types of third parties with whom they may share this data. The law exempts standard business practices like sharing data with service providers for order processing or complying with legal requests. It directly affects businesses operating in New Jersey that collect consumer data online, aiming to increase transparency about data handling.
