   Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may  be  cited  as
 the "New York privacy act".
   §  2.  Legislative  intent.  1.  Privacy is a fundamental right and an
 essential element of freedom. Advances in technology have produced ramp-
 ant growth in the amount and categories of personal  data  being  gener-
 ated,   collected,  stored,  analyzed,  and  potentially  shared,  which
 presents both promise and peril. Companies collect, use  and  share  our
 personal  data  in  ways that can be difficult for ordinary consumers to
 understand. Opaque data processing policies make it impossible to evalu-
 ate risks  and  compare  privacy-related  protections  across  services,
 stifling  competition.  Algorithms  quietly make decisions with critical
 consequences for New York consumers, often with no human accountability.
 Behavioral advertising generates profits by turning people into products
 and their activity into assets. New York consumers deserve  more  notice
 and more control over their data and their digital privacy.
   2. This act seeks to help New York consumers regain their privacy.  It
 gives New York consumers the ability to exercise more control over their
 personal data and requires businesses to be responsible, thoughtful, and
 accountable  managers  of  that  information.  To achieve this, this act
 provides New York consumers a number  of  new  rights,  including  clear
 notice of how their data is being used, processed and shared; the abili-
 ty  to  access  and obtain a copy of their data in a commonly used elec-
 tronic format, with the ability to transfer  it  between  services;  the
 ability  to  correct  inaccurate  data and to delete their data; and the
 ability to challenge certain automated decisions. This act also  imposes
