Relates to online dating services
This bill updates regulations for online dating services in New York to better protect users from fraud and enforce stricter contract terms. It defines specific terms like "fraud ban" to allow platforms to block accounts suspected of trying to scam members and clarifies what counts as personally identifying information. The law also sets spending limits on service contracts, prohibits requiring the purchase of extra services like grooming or counseling as a condition of membership, and grants users the right to cancel contracts within three days or place their accounts on hold for up to one year. Additionally, it mandates that dating sites must return or delete user data when a contract ends and requires clear disclosure of how many matches or referrals a user will receive if they pay more than twenty-five dollars.
