19        (3) delete covered data of the individual that is
20    processed by the covered entity and instruct the covered
21    entity to make reasonable efforts to notify all third
22    parties or service providers to which the covered entity
23    transferred such covered data of the individual's deletion
24    request; and
25        (4) to the extent technically feasible, export to the
26    individual or directly to another entity the covered data

 

 

HB3385- 38 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1    of the individual that is processed by the covered entity,
2    including inferences linked or reasonably linkable to the
3    individual but not including other derived data, without
4    licensing restrictions that limit such transfers in:
5            (A) a human-readable format that a reasonable
6        individual can understand and download from the
7        Internet; and
8            (B) a portable, structured, interoperable, and
9        machine-readable format.
10    (b) A covered entity may not condition, effectively
11condition, attempt to condition, or attempt to effectively
12condition the exercise of a right described in subsection (a)
13through:
14        (1) the use of any false, fictitious, fraudulent, or
15    materially misleading statement or representation; or
16        (2) the design, modification, or manipulation of any

20    exercise such right.
21    (c) Subject to subsections (d) and (e), each request under
22subsection (a) shall be completed by any:
23        (1) large data holder within 45 days after the request
24    from an individual, unless it is demonstrably
25    impracticable or impracticably costly to verify such
26    individual;

 

 

HB3385- 39 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1        (2) covered entity that is not a large data holder
2    within 60 days after the request from an individual,
3    unless it is demonstrably impracticable or impracticably
4    costly to verify such individual; or
5        (3) a response period set forth in this subsection may
6    be extended once by 45 additional days when reasonably
7    necessary, considering the complexity and number of the
8    individual's requests, so long as the covered entity
9    informs the individual of any such extension within the
10    initial 45-day response period, together with the reason
11    for the extension.
12    (d) A covered entity shall provide an individual with the
13opportunity to exercise each of the rights described in
14subsection (a); and with respect to the first 2 times that an
15individual exercises any right described in subsection (a) in
16any 12-month period, shall allow the individual to exercise

18times described in subparagraph (A), may allow the individual
19to exercise such right for a reasonable fee for each request.
20    (e) A covered entity may not permit an individual to
21exercise a right described in subsection (a), in whole or in
22part, if the covered entity:
23        (1) cannot reasonably verify that the individual
24    making the request to exercise the right is the individual
25    whose covered data is the subject of the request or an
26    individual authorized to make such a request on the

 

 

HB3385- 40 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1    individual's behalf;
2        (2) reasonably believes that the request is made to
3    interfere with a contract between the covered entity and
4    another individual;
5        (3) determines that the exercise of the right would
6    require access to or correction of another individual's
7    sensitive covered data;
8        (4) reasonably believes that the exercise of the right
9    would require the covered entity to engage in an unfair or
10    deceptive practice under Section 5 of the Federal Trade
11    Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 45); or
12        (5) reasonably believes that the request is made to
13    further fraud, support criminal activity, or the exercise
14    of the right presents a data security threat.
15    (f) If a covered entity cannot reasonably verify that a
16request to exercise a right described in subsection (a) is
17made by the individual whose covered data is the subject of the
18request (or an individual authorized to make such a request on
19the individual's behalf), the covered entity:
20        (1) may request that the individual making the request
21    to exercise the right provide any additional information
22    necessary for the sole purpose of verifying the identity
23    of the individual; and
24        (2) may not process or transfer such additional
25    information for any other purpose.
26    (g) A covered entity may decline, with adequate

 

 

HB3385- 41 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1explanation to the individual, to comply with a request to
2exercise a right described in subsection (a), in whole or in
3part, that would:
4        (1) require the covered entity to retain any covered
5    data collected for a single, one-time transaction, if such
6    covered data is not processed or transferred by the
7    covered entity for any purpose other than completing such
8    transaction;
9        (2) be demonstrably impracticable or prohibitively
10    costly to comply with, and the covered entity shall
11    provide a description to the requester detailing the
12    inability to comply with the request;
13        (3) require the covered entity to attempt to
14    re-identify de-identified data;
15        (4) require the covered entity to maintain covered
16    data in an identifiable form or collect, retain, or access
17    any data in order to be capable of associating a verified
18    individual request with covered data of such individual;
19        (5) result in the release of trade secrets or other
20    privileged or confidential business information;
21        (6) require the covered entity to correct any covered
22    data that cannot be reasonably verified as being
23    inaccurate or incomplete;
24        (7) interfere with law enforcement, judicial
25    proceedings, investigations, or reasonable efforts to
26    guard against, detect, prevent, or investigate fraudulent,

 

 

HB3385- 42 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1    malicious, or unlawful activity, or enforce valid
2    contracts;
3        (8) violate federal or State law or the rights and
4    freedoms of another individual, including under the
5    Constitution of the United States;
6        (9) prevent a covered entity from being able to
7    maintain a confidential record of deletion requests,
8    maintained solely for the purpose of preventing covered
9    data of an individual from being recollected after the
10    individual submitted a deletion request and requested that
11    the covered entity no longer collect, process, or transfer
12    such data; or
13        (10) with respect to requests for deletion:
14            (A) unreasonably interfere with the provision of
15        products or services by the covered entity to another
16        person it currently serves;
17            (B) delete covered data that relates to a public
18        figure and for which the requesting individual has no
19        reasonable expectation of privacy;
20            (C) delete covered data reasonably necessary to
21        perform a contract between the covered entity and the
22        individual;

1        reasonably believes may be evidence of unlawful
2        activity or an abuse of the covered entity's products
3        or services; or
4            (F) for private elementary and secondary schools
5        as defined by State law and private institutions of
6        higher education as defined by Title I of the Higher
7        Education Act of 1965, delete covered data that would
8        unreasonably interfere with the provision of education
9        services by or the ordinary operation of the school or
10        institution.
11    (h) In a circumstance that would allow a denial, a covered
12entity shall partially comply with the remainder of the
13request if it is possible and not unduly burdensome to do so.
14    (i) For purposes of paragraph (2) of subsection (g), the
15receipt of a large number of verified requests, on its own, may
16not be considered to render compliance with a request
17demonstrably impracticable.
18    (j) A covered entity shall facilitate the ability of
19individuals to make requests under this Section in any covered
20language in which the covered entity provides a product or
21service. The mechanisms by which a covered entity enables

17    provider data if the service provider has actual knowledge
18    that a covered entity violated this Act with respect to
19    such data;
20        (3) shall assist a covered entity in responding to a
21    request made by an individual under Section 35 or 40, by

9            covered entity's instructions; or
10                (ii) providing written verification to the
11            covered entity that it does not hold covered data
12            related to the request, that complying with the
13            request would be inconsistent with its legal
14            obligations, or that the request falls within an
15            exception to Section 35 or 40;
16        (4) may engage another service provider for purposes
17    of processing service provider data on behalf of a covered
18    entity only after providing that covered entity with
19    notice and pursuant to a written contract that requires

17    upon request.
18    (b) A person or entity may only act as a service provider
19pursuant to a written contract between the covered entity and
20the service provider, or a written contract between one
21service provider and a second service provider as described
22under paragraph (4) of subsection (a), if the contract:
23        (1) sets forth the data processing procedures of the
24    service provider with respect to collection, processing,

20        data which the service provider receives from or on
21        behalf of another person or persons or collects from
22        the interaction of the service provider with an
23        individual, provided that such combining is not
24        necessary to effectuate a purpose described in
25        paragraphs (1) through (15) of subsection (b) of
26        Section 10 and is otherwise permitted under the

 

 

HB3385- 57 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1        contract required by this subsection.
2        (5) Each service provider shall retain copies of
3    previous contracts entered into in compliance with this
4    Section with each covered entity to which it provides
5    requested products or services.
6    (c) Relationship between covered entities and service
7providers:
8        (1) Determining whether a person is acting as a
9    covered entity or service provider with respect to a
10    specific processing of covered data is a fact-based
11    determination that depends upon the context in which such
12    data is processed.
13        (2) A person that is not limited in its processing of
14    covered data pursuant to the instructions of a covered
15    entity, or that fails to adhere to such instructions, is a
16    covered entity and not a service provider with respect to
17    a specific processing of covered data. A service provider
18    that continues to adhere to the instructions of a covered
19    entity with respect to a specific processing of covered
20    data remains a service provider. If a service provider
21    begins, alone or jointly with others, determining the
22    purposes and means of the processing of covered data, it
23    is a covered entity and not a service provider with
24    respect to the processing of such data.
25        (3) A covered entity that transfers covered data to a
26    service provider or a service provider that transfers

 

 

HB3385- 58 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1    covered data to a covered entity or another service
2    provider, in compliance with the requirements of this Act,
3    is not liable for a violation of this Act by the service
4    provider or covered entity to whom such covered data was
5    transferred, if at the time of transferring such covered
6    data, the covered entity or service provider did not have
7    actual knowledge that the service provider or covered
8    entity would violate this Act.
9        (4) A covered entity or service provider that receives
10    covered data in compliance with the requirements of this
11    Act is not in violation of this Act as a result of a
12    violation by a covered entity or service provider from
13    which such data was received.
14    (d) A third party:
15        (1) shall not process third-party data for a
16    processing purpose other than, in the case of sensitive
17    covered data, the processing purpose for which the
18    individual gave affirmative express consent or to effect a
19    purpose enumerated in paragraphs (1), (3), or (5) of
20    subsection (b) of Section 10 and, in the case of
21    non-sensitive data, the processing purpose for which the
22    covered entity made a disclosure pursuant to paragraph (4)
23    of subsection (1) of Section 30;
24        (2) for purposes of paragraph (1), may reasonably rely
25    on representations made by the covered entity that
26    transferred the third party data if the third party

 

 

HB3385- 59 -LRB103 30204 SPS 56632 b

1    conducts reasonable due diligence on the representations
2    of the covered entity and finds those representations to
3    be credible; and

7third party shall enter into a written contract with such
8third party that:
9        (1) identifies the specific purposes for which the
10    covered data is being made available to third party;
11        (2) specifies that the covered entity is transferring
12    the covered data to the third party solely for the
13    specific purposes set forth in the contract and that the
14    third party may only use the covered data for such
15    specific purposes;
16        (3) requires the third party to comply with all
17    applicable provisions of and regulations promulgated under
18    this Act with respect to the covered data that the covered
19    entity transfers to the third party and must provide the
20    same level of privacy and security protection for the
21    covered data as required by covered entities under this
22    Act.
23    (f) A covered entity or service provider shall exercise
24reasonable due diligence in:
25        (1) selecting a service provider; and
26        (2) deciding to transfer covered data to a third

6        (4) further defining and adding to the permissible

8    covered entities and service providers may use covered
9    data, as long as such purposes are consistent with the
