Many laws protect the privacy of consumers and their information in Florida, and you have rights under the following and more:
FIPA is the primary state law governing data breaches and the protection of personal information. It requires entities that collect and store personal information to implement reasonable security measures and to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach.
FDUTPA prohibits deceptive and unfair trade practices, including false representations related to the collection and use of personal information. Violations under FDUTPA may result in legal action and penalties.
FEMCA regulates the transmission of commercial electronic mail and prohibits deceptive practices in email marketing. It includes provisions related to obtaining consent, accurate header information, and the inclusion of opt-out mechanisms in marketing emails.
FIFPA safeguards the privacy of consumers’ financial information held by financial institutions. It outlines restrictions on the disclosure of nonpublic personal information and establishes requirements for consumer consent.
While not specific to Florida, COPPA is a federal law that protects the online privacy of children under the age of 13. Websites and online services targeting children must comply with COPPA, requiring parental consent for the collection of personal information from minors.
Parties can violate consumer laws and cause harm in many ways. Some situations when you should always consult our privacy law attorney include:
