exercise such right.
21

(c) Subject to subsections (d) and (e), each request under
22
subsection (a) shall be completed by any:
23

(1) large data holder within 45 days after the request

impracticable or impracticably costly to verify such
26

individual;

HB3041
- 39 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

(2) covered entity that is not a large data holder

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

any 12-month period, shall allow the individual to exercise
17
such right free of charge; and any time beyond the initial 2
18

to exercise such right for a reasonable fee for each request.
20

(e) A covered entity may not permit an individual to
21
exercise a right described in subsection (a), in whole or in
22
part, 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

HB3041
- 40 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 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
16
request to exercise a right described in subsection (a) is
17
made by the individual whose covered data is the subject of the
18
request (or an individual authorized to make such a request on
19
the 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

HB3041
- 41 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1
explanation to the individual, to comply with a request to
2
exercise a right described in subsection (a), in whole or in
3
part, 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,

HB3041
- 42 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 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;

24

needs to retain in order to comply with professional

LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
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
12
entity shall partially comply with the remainder of the
13
request if it is possible and not unduly burdensome to do so.
14

(i) For purposes of paragraph (2) of subsection (g), the
15
receipt of a large number of verified requests, on its own, may
16
not be considered to render compliance with a request
17
demonstrably impracticable.
18

(j) A covered entity shall facilitate the ability of
19
individuals to make requests under this Section in any covered
20
language in which the covered entity provides a product or
21
service. The mechanisms by which a covered entity enables
22
individuals to make requests under this Section shall be

service provider;
24

(2) the nature and scope of the covered entity or the

individual has provided affirmative express consent to
22

such retention. Such disposal shall include destroying,
23

permanently erasing, or otherwise modifying the covered
24

data to make such data permanently unreadable or
25

indecipherable and unrecoverable to ensure ongoing
26

compliance with this Section. Service providers shall

23
Act, an executive officer of a large data holder shall
24
annually certify, in good faith, to the Attorney General that

1
the entity maintains:

be based on a review of the effectiveness of the internal
10
controls and reporting structures of the large data holder
11
that is conducted by the certifying executive officer not more
12
than 90 days before the submission of the certification. A
13
certification submitted under subsection (a) is made in good
14
faith if the certifying officer had, after a reasonable
15
investigation, reasonable ground to believe and did believe,
16
at the time that certification was submitted, that the
17
statements therein were true and that there was no omission to

and procedures of the large data holder, as necessary;
16

(B) conduct biennial and comprehensive audits to

21

(C) develop a program to educate and train
22

employees about compliance requirements of this Act;
23

(D) maintain updated, accurate, clear, and

6
assessment. Such assessment shall weigh the benefits of the
7
covered entity's covered data collecting, processing, and
8
transfer practices that may cause a substantial privacy risk
9
against the potential material adverse consequences of such
10
practices to individual privacy. The covered entity shall make
11
a summary of such privacy impact assessment publicly available
12
in a place that is easily accessible to individuals. The
13
privacy impact assessment shall:
14

(1) be reasonable and appropriate in scope given:
15

(A) the nature of the covered data collected,
16

processed, and transferred by the covered entity;
17

(B) the volume of the covered data collected,

3

(5) if the covered entity is a large data holder, be
4

approved by the privacy protection officer designated in
5

this Section, as applicable.

6

Section 70.
Service providers and third parties.
7

(a) A service provider:
8

(1) shall adhere to the instructions of a covered
9

entity and only collect, process, and transfer service
10

provider data to the extent necessary and proportionate to
11

provide a service requested by the covered entity, as set
12

out in the contract required by subsection (b), and this
13

paragraph does not require a service provider to collect,
14

process, or transfer covered data if the service provider
15

would not otherwise do so;
16

(2) may not collect, process, or transfer service
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

24

organizational measures, taking into account the
25

nature of the processing and the information

HB3041
- 54 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

reasonably available to the service provider, for the
2

covered entity to comply with such request for service
3

provider data; or
4

(B) fulfilling a request by a covered entity to
5

execute an individual rights request that the covered
6

entity has determined should be complied with, by
7

either:
8

(i) complying with the request pursuant to the
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
20

such other service provider to satisfy the obligations of
21

the service provider with respect to such service provider
22

data, including that the other service provider be treated
23

as a service provider under this Act;
24

(5) shall, at the covered entity's direction, delete
25

or return all covered data to the covered entity as
26

- 55 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

retention of the covered data is required by law;
2

(6) shall develop, implement, and maintain reasonable
3

administrative, technical, and physical safeguards that
4

are designed to protect the security and confidentiality
5

of covered data the service provider processes consistent
6

with Section 55; and
7

(7) shall allow and cooperate with, reasonable
8

assessments by the covered entity or the covered entity's
9

designated assessor; alternatively, the service provider
10

may arrange for a qualified and independent assessor to
11

conduct an assessment of the service provider's policies
12

and technical and organizational measures in support of
13

the obligations under this Act using an appropriate and
14

accepted control standard or framework and assessment
15

procedure for such assessments. The service provider shall
16

provide a report of such assessment to the covered entity
17

upon request.
18

(b) A person or entity may only act as a service provider
19
pursuant to a written contract between the covered entity and
20
the service provider, or a written contract between one
21
service provider and a second service provider as described
22
under 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,
25

or transfer performed on behalf of the covered entity or
26

service provider;

HB3041
- 56 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

2

(A) instructions for collecting, processing, or
3

transferring data;
4

(B) the nature and purpose of collecting,
5

processing, or transferring;
6

(C) the type of data subject to collecting,
7

processing, or transferring;
8

(D) the duration of processing; and
9

14

provider of any requirement or liability imposed on such
15

covered entity or service provider under this Act; and
16

(4) prohibits:
17

18

covered data in contravention to subsection (a); and
19

(B) combining service provider data with covered
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

HB3041
- 57 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 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
7
providers:
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

HB3041
- 58 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 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

HB3041
- 59 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

conducts reasonable due diligence on the representations
2

of the covered entity and finds those representations to
3

be credible; and
4

(3) shall enter into and comply with all provisions of
5

the contract required under subsection (e).
6

(e) A covered entity that transfers covered data to a
7
third party shall enter into a written contract with such
8
third 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
24
reasonable due diligence in:
25

(1) selecting a service provider; and
26

(2) deciding to transfer covered data to a third

HB3041
- 60 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

party.
2

(g) Solely for the purposes of this Section, the
3
requirements for service providers to contract with, assist,
4
and follow the instructions of covered entities shall be read
5
to include requirements to contract with, assist, and follow
6
the instructions of a government entity if the service
7
provider is providing a service to a government entity.

8

(4) obtain reasonable attorneys' fees and other
20

litigation costs reasonably incurred.

21

23
of this Act or a regulation promulgated under this Act by a

- 61 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1
against such entity in any court of competent jurisdiction.
2

(b) In a civil action brought under paragraph (a) in which
3
a plaintiff prevails, the court may award the plaintiff:
4

(1) an amount equal to the sum of any compensatory,
5

liquidated, or punitive damages;

(2) injunctive relief;
7

(3) declaratory relief; and
8

(4) reasonable attorney's fees and litigation costs.

10
small business.

11

Section 85.
Rulemaking.
12

(a) The Attorney General may adopt rules for the purposes
13
of carrying out this Act, including, but not limited to, the
14
following areas:
15

(1) adjusting the monetary thresholds in January of
16

every odd-numbered year to reflect any increase in the
17

Consumer Price Index, and the data collected thresholds in
18

the definition of "large data holder" and "small business"
19

as appropriate;
20

(2) further defining "precise geolocation
21

information," such as where the size defined is not
22

sufficient to protect individual privacy in sparsely
23

populated areas, or when the covered data is used for
24

normal operational purposes, such as billing;
25

(3) updating or adding categories to the definition of

HB3041
- 62 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

"sensitive covered data" any other type of covered data
2

that may require a similar level of protection as the
3

types of covered data listed in the definition of
4

"sensitive covered data" as a result of any new method of
5

collecting, processing, or transferring covered data;
6

(4) further defining and adding to the permissible
7

purposes under subsection (b) of Section 10 for which

10

reasonable expectations of individuals;

(5) further defining what constitutes reasonable
12

policies, practices, and procedures under Section 20;

5

purposes of Section 35 and to facilitate an individual's
6

or the individual's authorized agent's ability to delete
7

covered data, correct inaccurate covered data, or obtain
8

covered data, with the goal of minimizing the
9

administrative burden on individuals, taking into account
10

available technology, security concerns, and the burden on
11

the covered entity, to govern a covered entity's
12

determination that a request for information received by
13

from an individual is a verifiable consumer request,
14

including treating a request submitted through a
15

password-protected account maintained by the individual
16

with the covered entity while the individual is logged
17

into the account as a verifiable request and providing a
18

mechanism for an individual who does not maintain an
19

account with the covered entity to request information
20

through the covered entity's authentication of the
21

individual's identity;
22

(8) establishing additional permissive exceptions
23

necessary to protect the rights of individuals, prevent
24

unjust or unreasonable outcomes from the exercise of
25

access, correction, deletion, or portability rights, or as
26

otherwise necessary to fulfill the purposes of this

HB3041
- 64 -
LRB104 08482 SPS 18534 b
1

Section. In establishing such exceptions, the Attorney
2

General should consider any relevant changes in
3

technology, means for protecting privacy and other rights,
4

and beneficial uses of covered data by covered entities;
5

(9) establishing how often, and under what
6

circumstances, an individual may request a correction
7

pursuant to Section 35;
8

(10) requiring covered entities obligated to conduct
9

impact assessments under subsection (d) of Sections 65 to
10

establish a process to ensure that audits are thorough and
11

independent;
12

(11) requiring additional information necessary for
13

compliance with the impact assessment required under
14

subsection (d) of Sections 65; and
15

(12) setting compliance requirements for service
16

providers and third parties under Section 70.

17

Section 97.
Severability.
The provisions of this Act are
