My Body, My Data Act of 2023

The My Body, My Data Act of 2023 aims to establish a national privacy standard for personal reproductive and sexual health information. If passed, the bill would strictly limit the amount of sensitive health data that companies—such as period-tracking apps, search engines, and cell phone providers—can collect, use, or share to only what is necessary to provide their services.

For everyday citizens, this legislation would provide greater control over their digital footprint by granting individuals the right to access or delete their personal health data held by these entities. It also empowers the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these privacy protections and allows individuals to sue companies that mishandle their sensitive reproductive information.
