1798.121 — Right to limit use of sensitive personal information

high data-classificationconsent

Requirement

Where a business uses or discloses sensitive personal information (such as SSN, account log-in with credentials, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, health, sex life, biometric data, or contents of communications) for purposes beyond those permitted by regulation, consumers may direct it to limit that use.

What the engine looks for

Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.
