Summary

Online Personal Privacy Act - Prohibits an Internet service provider, online service provider, or operator of a commercial website (provider) from collecting or disclosing personally identifiable information (name, address, and phone number) of a user unless the provider provides clear and conspicuous user notice. Requires a provider to: (1) obtain consent to the collection and disclosure of sensitive personally identifiable information (health, race, political party, religious belief, sexual orientation, social security number, or financial information); (2) provide robust notice, in addition to clear and conspicuous notice, of the opportunity to opt-out of the collection or disclosure of personally identifiable information; and (3) notify all users of a change in provider policy for the collection, use, or disclosure of sensitive or nonsensitive personally identifiable user information. Provides exceptions. Requires a provider to: (1) provide reasonable user access to personally identifiable information collected; and (2) establish and maintain procedures to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of such information. Provides for enforcement of this Act through the Federal Trade Commission, citing violations as unfair or deceptive acts or practices. Authorizes enforcement actions by both private users and States on behalf of its residents. Provides whistleblower protections for provider employees. Requires the Sergeant at Arms of the United States Senate to develop regulations applying the requirements of this Act to Senate officers and employees. Applies this Act to each Federal agency that is or operates an Internet or online service or website.
