What it does
The MY DATA Act of 2025 would prohibit covered entities—such as businesses that collect, process, or transfer personal data—from preventing individuals from using their own de-identified or cloaked data, which are forms of data designed to protect identity while enabling communication. The bill applies to commercial entities but excludes government agencies and certain congressionally designated nonprofits focused on missing and exploited children. Violations would be enforced by the Federal Trade Commission as unfair or deceptive acts or practices under the FTC Act, subjecting violators to its penalties and enforcement powers.
