S 6867 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the sale of personal information by an internet service provider

S 6867 requires internet service providers (ISPs) in New York to keep subscribers' personal information confidential unless the subscriber explicitly grants written or electronic permission to share it. The bill defines personal information broadly to include names, addresses, financial details, health data, online activity, and email addresses. ISPs must notify subscribers of these privacy rights and cannot charge extra fees for choosing not to share personal information. Subscribers can specifically request that their email address be kept confidential, and ISPs must honor such requests. Violations would result in fines of $500 to $1,000 per offense.
