Relating to the regulation of certain business entities that act as data brokers.
SB 2121 regulates data brokers in Texas by defining them as businesses that collect, process, or transfer personal data not gathered directly from individuals. It applies only to data brokers meeting one of two thresholds: deriving over 50% of revenue from such data, or processing data for more than 50,000 individuals. The bill amends Texas' Business & Commerce Code to establish these criteria, effective September 1, 2025, and directly affects larger data brokerage entities meeting these specific revenue or scale thresholds.
