To prohibit data brokers from selling and transferring certain sensitive data.

Bill 118 hr 10540, also known as the Data Broker Accountability and Transparency Act, aims to prevent data brokers from selling and transferring sensitive information. Data brokers are companies that collect and sell personal information about individuals, such as their financial, health, and location data.

The bill prohibits data brokers from selling or transferring certain types of sensitive data, including information related to an individual's health, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and political affiliation. It also requires data brokers to obtain consent from individuals before collecting and selling their data.

Additionally, the bill mandates that data brokers provide individuals with access to their own data, as well as the ability to correct any inaccuracies. Data brokers must also implement security measures to protect the data they collect from unauthorized access or disclosure. Overall, the Data Broker Accountability and Transparency Act seeks to protect individuals' privacy and ensure that their sensitive information is not exploited for profit by data brokers.
