Sensitive personal information.

January 5, 2026

Summary

If enacted, this bill would amend California's consumer privacy law (CCPA) to expand the definition and protection of sensitive personal information, requiring businesses to limit their use of such data to purposes necessary for providing requested services or as authorized by law. Lenders, servicers, and fintechs handling California residents' sensitive data would need to update their privacy policies and data processing practices to comply with tighter restrictions on secondary uses.
