Oklahoma: Privacy bill introduced in Oklahoma House of Representatives

Oklahoma State Representatives, Collin Wake and Josh West, introduced, on 9 September 2021, House Bill ('HB') 2969 for the Oklahoma Computer Data Privacy Act 2022 to the U.S. House of Representatives. The bill would apply to businesses that do business in the State of Oklahoma, and that satisfy one or more of the following criteria:

• have annual gross revenues that exceeds $10 million in the preceding calendar year;
• annually buy, receive, share, or disclose for commercial purposes the personal information of 25,000 or more consumers; or
• derives 50% or more of its annual revenues from sharing consumers' personal information.

In addition, the bill would create new obligations for businesses including the requirement to enter into Data Processing Agreements and have a privacy policy, which should provide information such as:

• the method by which a consumer may exercise their rights provided by the bill;
• the personal information collected from consumers;
• the reason the business processes personal information;
• whether the business discloses personal information, and if so, what information is disclosed and to whom;
• whether the business shares personal information with service providers; and
• the length of time that the business retains personal data.

Moreover, the bill would provide for the introduction of data subject rights such as the right to access, deletion, opt-out, data portability, and rectification. Lastly, the bill would be enforced by the state Attorney General's office.
