New Jersey: Bill on personal information transparency obligations amended by State Assembly Comittee

On May 11, 2023, Senate Bill 332 requiring online services to notify consumers of collection and disclosure of personally identifiable information and allowing consumers to opt in was amended by the New Jersey State Assembly Science, Innovation and Technology Committee. The bill was amended to reflect that 'business' under the bill is defined as 'a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, association, or other legal entity that is organized or operated for the profit or financial benefit of its shareholders or other owners, that collects consumers' personal information.' However, 'business' does not include non-profit organizations. 

Likewise, the bill amendments define 'online service' as 'a person or entity that operates an online service,' excluding 'any third party that operates, hosts, or manages, but does not own, an online service on the operator's behalf or processes information on behalf of the operator.'

Furthermore, the bill amendments remove the obligation of operators to provide a toll-free phone number, email address, or both for the submission of requests by a customer to review or change personally identifiable information, alongside the obligation to submit verified documents to support the consumer's request.
