A sensitive categories rule binding private bodies.
As of .
What it requires
- If you own or operate an online platform, online video game, messaging application or video streaming service that is used by a minor, do not disclose or share the minor's precise geolocation with anyone other than the minor's legal representative or a law enforcement representative authorized by law to receive it, unless the minor's legal representative has given express consent to opt out.

What this law does
A covered platform, meaning an online platform, online video game, messaging application or video streaming service that accesses the internet and is used by a minor, owes a duty of care to a minor with whom it contracts.
The duty requires reasonable measures to prioritize the privacy of the minor's account, including a default that prohibits the platform from disclosing or sharing the minor's precise geolocation with anyone other than the minor's legal representative or a law enforcement representative authorized by law to receive it. A minor's legal representative may opt out of the protections by giving the platform express consent.
The Attorney General enforces the Section by a civil action for a fine of up to $10,000 per violation, after written notice of each alleged violation, and the owner or operator may cure within forty-five days of the notice.
