Plain-language summary
This bill would update Kentucky's data privacy law to add new protections for minors who use online services. It would require websites and apps to automatically set the strongest privacy options for users who are minors, restrict certain types of targeted advertising and manipulative design tactics aimed at them, and limit when those services can send notifications to minors. Parents would also receive tools to help manage their child's privacy settings. Who it may affect: minors and their parents, as well as businesses that operate online services or apps used by children.
