What is the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR)?

The Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR) is a comprehensive data privacy law that will take effect on July 1, 2024. It consists of three sections addressing data privacy obligations for businesses, protections for children online, and government control over social media platforms. The law imposes duties upon businesses and grants consumer rights to Floridians, setting guidelines for the processing of personal data, privacy notices, and opt-outs.

What are the requirements for Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR)?

The FDBR requires businesses to limit data collection to what is necessary, obtain consent before processing sensitive data, create clear and accessible privacy notices, and implement security measures to protect data. It also mandates that consumers be able to access, correct, and delete their personal data.

Why should you be Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR) compliant?

Compliance with the FDBR helps protect consumer trust, avoids legal penalties, and ensures responsible handling of personal data. It also enhances the business’s reputation by showing a commitment to privacy and aligns with the legal standards for data protection.

Who should comply? The FDBR applies mainly to large tech platforms with annual revenues over $1 billion that either derive significant income from online advertisements or operate consumer smart speaker services. Most small and medium-sized businesses are exempt.

How do I achieve compliance?

To achieve compliance, businesses should update privacy policies, implement data protection measures, train employees on data privacy, and establish procedures for handling consumer data requests. Regular audits and assessments can help maintain compliance.
