Introduced
Summary
Control over personal reproductive and sexual health data. This bill would create a federal privacy regime for personal reproductive or sexual health information. It would limit data collection, give people clear rights to access, correct, and delete that information, require transparent privacy policies, and allow enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission and private lawsuits.
Show full summary
- Individuals: People would get explicit rights to access, correct, and delete their reproductive or sexual health information. They would be protected from retaliation when they use those rights and would receive timely responses in machine-readable form.
- Businesses and platforms: Companies that handle this data would have to minimize what they collect, publish detailed privacy policies, and limit third-party disclosures. Violations could trigger FTC enforcement and private lawsuits with damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees, and pre-dispute arbitration or class waiver clauses would be invalid for these disputes.
- Health and nonprofit carve-outs: Entities covered by HIPAA and their business associates are excluded, as are certain public-health activities and some nonprofits. The bill also preserves stronger state privacy protections and coordinates with existing federal rules.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Enforcement and private lawsuits
This bill would let the Federal Trade Commission enforce the rules and write regulations. It would also let individuals sue for violations. A court could award at least $100 and up to $1,000 per violation per day, or actual damages, whichever is greater, plus punitive damages and attorney fees. The bill would make pre-dispute arbitration and joint-action waivers unenforceable for Act-related disputes. It would also say state laws that give stronger privacy protections still apply, and it would not stop legally required disclosures like court orders or Commission requests.
Which companies and data are covered
This bill would define what counts as reproductive or sexual health data. It would cover past, present, and future pregnancy, menstruation, ovulation, fertility, sexual activity, abortion, contraception, related tests and purchases, and inferred or algorithmic data. It would limit collection and access so companies only keep PRSHI when strictly needed to give the product or service you asked for. The bill would treat some data processors as service providers who may only use data under contract and would generally exclude HIPAA-covered health care providers and business associates when they act under HIPAA.
New rights to access, correct, delete
This bill would give you new tools to control your reproductive data. It would require companies to provide an easy, prominent way (including online) to make verified requests. If you ask, a company would have to give your data in human-readable and machine-readable form without a fee and respond within 15 days. You could also request correction or deletion of data the company or its service providers keep. The bill would bar companies from retaliating against you for using these rights.
