core/list

“Personal data”&nbsp;regulated by the Act broadly includes any “derived data or any unique identifier that is linked to or is reasonably linkable to a consumer or to a device that identifies, is linked to or is reasonably linkable to one or more consumers in a household.”

The OCDPA imposes additional requirements for personal data that is considered&nbsp;“sensitive data.”&nbsp;Such data includes children’s data; genetic or biometric data; precise geolocation data; or data that “reveals a consumer’s” national origin, citizen or immigration status, racial or ethnic background, religious beliefs, mental or physical condition/diagnosis, sexual orientation, transgender or non-binary status, or status as a victim of crime. This definition of sensitive data is more expansive that other privacy statutes with its inclusion of categories such as transgender or non-binary status.
