Question 146 - CIPP-US discussion

One of the most significant changes introduced by Nevada Senate Bill 260 (SB 260) is the inclusion of the term ''Data Brokers'' into Nevada privacy law. The bill requires data brokers to register with the Nevada Secretary of State and comply with new privacy requirements, such as responding to consumer opt-out requests. This addition aligns Nevada's privacy framework more closely with laws like Vermont's data broker law.

Key Provisions of SB 260:

Definition of Data Brokers:

A data broker is defined as a company that collects, sells, or licenses consumer data and does not have a direct relationship with the consumer.

Registration Requirements:

Data brokers must register annually with the Nevada Secretary of State.

Consumer Rights:

Consumers are granted the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information, extending the scope of Nevada's existing privacy law.

Explanation of Options:

A . Data Ethics: While data ethics is an important concept, it is not introduced as a specific term under SB 260.

B . Data Brokers: This is correct. The inclusion of data brokers as a regulated entity is the primary addition introduced by SB 260.

C . Artificial Intelligence: SB 260 does not address artificial intelligence directly.

D . Transfer Mechanism: SB 260 focuses on regulating data brokers, not cross-border data transfer mechanisms.
