A 3629 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sharing or selling personal data to third parties by government entities and contractors

This bill prohibits New York state government agencies and their contractors from selling or sharing residents' personal data with third parties. It defines "personal information" broadly to include names, addresses, biometrics, and online identifiers, while allowing limited sharing for legitimate government purposes like public safety or services. Agencies must notify individuals when sharing data and ensure contractors cannot use the data for commercial purposes. The law does not apply to private companies, focusing solely on government data handling. It creates new rules for data protection within state operations, effective after legislative approval.
