DELETE Act

Requires companies that buy, sell, or share people’s personal data (data brokers) to register with the Federal Trade Commission and to join a free, centralized deletion system that lets any person ask all registered brokers to delete their personal information. The law directs the FTC to write implementing rules on a fixed schedule, requires brokers to respond to deletion matches, creates reporting and audit duties, allows limited exceptions to deletion requests, and gives the FTC enforcement authority.
