The sponsor's argument

Why Kristen Gonzalez says this is needed

Data brokers collect and sell vast amounts of personal information about New Yorkers often without consumers' knowledge or consent. This informa- tion can include sensitive data such as precise location, biometric identifiers, health information, immigration status, and other deeply personal details. The unchecked sale and sharing of this data poses serious risks to privacy, consumer safety, and civil rights. While consumers are increasingly concerned about how their data is used, there is currently no centralized or effective way for New Yorkers to identify data brokers or to request deletion of their personal informa- tion across the industry. This bill addresses that gap by establishing transparency through registration and accountability through a uniform deletion process. By empowering the Attorney General to oversee data brokers and by giving consumers meaningful control over their personal data, this legislation strengthens privacy protections, reduces the risk of data misuse, and aligns New York with emerging national standards for consumer protection.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
