N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law section 899-bb (Article 39-F, added by L. 2019, ch. 117 (S5575-B/A5635-B), section 4) · Read the law's page
- This binds any person or business that owns, licenses, or maintains computerized data including the private information of a New York resident; a business already a compliant regulated entity under Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Title V regulations, HIPAA and HITECH regulations, or 23 NYCRR Part 500 (the New York Department of Financial Services cybersecurity regulation for a financial-services licensee) is deemed to comply.
- Absent that safe harbor, develop, implement, and maintain a data security program with reasonable administrative safeguards (a designated coordinator, a risk assessment, employee training, vetted service-provider contracts, and periodic adjustment), reasonable technical safeguards (assessing network and software design risk, detecting and responding to attacks, and testing controls), and reasonable physical safeguards (securing storage and disposal and limiting access during and after collection).
- A small business, fewer than 50 employees, under $3,000,000 in gross annual revenue in each of the last three fiscal years, or under $5,000,000 in year-end total assets, may scale its program's administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to its own size, complexity, and the sensitivity of the personal information it collects.
- There is no private right of action; only the Attorney General may enforce this section, as a deemed violation of General Business Law 349, seeking injunctive relief and a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation under General Business Law 350-d.

- Disclose the specific nature and purpose of the crawler, including every use the news source's content could be put to, at or before the time you request access and in a format the journalism provider can access.
- Do not deploy a crawler that omits these disclosures in a manner that would damage, impair, or burden the operation of a covered news source or otherwise cause it economic harm.
