Don’t Sell Kids’ Data Act of 2025
Summary
The Don't Sell Kids' Data Act of 2025 would establish protections for children's personal information in the digital marketplace. The bill, currently under committee consideration in the House, would likely prohibit companies from selling or sharing the personal data of minors without obtaining verifiable parental consent first. This would apply to various types of business records and information collected through internet platforms, social media, and other digital services. If enacted, the legislation would create new legal standards for how companies handle children's data and could establish civil liability for violations, allowing parents and potentially other parties to pursue legal action against companies that fail to comply. The bill addresses growing concerns about the collection and monetization of children's personal information by technology companies and data brokers.
