What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

NDPA classifies data revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, mental or physical health diagnosis, sexual orientation, or citizenship or immigration status, genetic or biometric data processed to uniquely identify an individual, a known child's data, and precise geolocation data as sensitive data.

'Biometric data' means data generated to identify a specific individual through automatic measurement of a biological characteristic, including a fingerprint, voice print, retina image, or iris image, and is structured slightly differently in wording from the Connecticut, Oregon, Montana, and Delaware definitions (opening with the identification purpose rather than excluding then clawing back), but reaches the same operative result: a raw recording is excluded, except when generated to identify a specific individual.
