Plain-English Summary
The Data Care Act would establish new rules requiring companies to protect personal information they collect from consumers and to notify people if their data is breached or misused. The law would give consumers more control over their personal data and could impose penalties on companies that fail to safeguard it properly. This would affect most businesses that collect customer information, from social media platforms to retailers to healthcare providers.
