Summary

Generally prohibits covered entities from collecting, processing, or transferring an individual's personally identifiable information for the purpose of contact tracing with respect to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) without first obtaining the individual's affirmative consent to use such information. Applicable personally identifiable information includes, but is not limited to, precise geolocation data, long-lasting digital identifiers of individuals, and personal health information. However, such information does not include data that is de-identified, related to employee health screening for on-site entry, or publicly available. Covered entities, which include businesses, common carriers, and certain nonprofit organizations, also must provide a mechanism for individuals to revoke prior affirmative consent.
