The American Privacy Rights Act of 2024 establishes foundational data privacy rights for Americans, creates oversight mechanisms, and provides enforcement. Title I, American Privacy Rights, sets definitions and rules for data minimization, privacy by design, transparency, individual control over data, opt-out rights, and prohibits dark patterns and retaliation. It requires data security practices, executive responsibility, and outlines rules for service providers, third parties, and data brokers. The title includes a pilot program for privacy-enhancing technology, enforcement by the FTC, states, and individuals, preempts most state laws, and provides special protections for minors. Title II, Children's Online Privacy Protection Act 2.0, updates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, requiring FTC studies and reports on mobile and online application oversight and enforcement.
