What's In Scope

How Data Privacy Legislation bills are selected

In scope is any bill creating or amending duties over personal information: consumer rights of access, deletion, correction and opt-out; sale and sharing definitions; sensitive and biometric identifiers; breach notification timing and content; data broker registration; and the exemptions and thresholds that decide who is covered at all.

Scope is defined by a written topic profile that every bill is measured against. The profiles are drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills, not reviewed by an attorney. LawSignals is a research tool and does not provide legal advice.
