California's "Shine the Light" law (CA Civil Code § 1798.83〔(CA Government Civil Code § 1798.83 ). added 2013-07-28.〕〔(CA Civil Code § 1798.83 ). Retrieved on 2011-03-01.〕) is a privacy law passed by the California State Legislature in 2003. It became an active part of the California Civil Code on January 1, 2005. It is considered one of the first attempts by a state legislature in the United States to address the practice of sharing customers' personal information for marketing purposes, also known as "list brokerage."〔Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). ("California S.B. 27, 'Shine the Light" Law.' )〕 The law outlines procedures requiring companies to disclose upon the request of a California resident what personal information has been shared with third parties, as well as the parties with which the information has been shared. The law also outlines specific language that companies who do business with California residents must include in their online privacy policies.〔Nick Lieber.

(Senate Bill 27, Chaptered version ). Filed with CA Secretary of State on September 25, 2003. Retrieved on 11-03-01.〕 The bill's co-authors included State Senators Dede Alpert, Sheila Kuehl, Gloria Romero, and Nell Soto. The bill arose out of increasing concern with business practices in which consumers' personal information, collected by the company with which a consumer engaged in business, was sold to other third-party companies without the knowledge of the consumer. In support of the bill, Figueroa's office offered the State Senate numerous examples of lists of personal information available for purchase on the Internet. Figueroa's office wrote: After approval in the Senate, the bill went to the California State Assembly, where a number of concerns arose regarding "undue burden" placed on businesses. The authors made several changes to address business interests, including the addition of a provision granting a business 90 days to "cure a violation" and an exemption for small businesses. Revisions also provided businesses the option to either respond to incoming requests from consumers who want to know how their information is being used or to allow users to opt out and "stop their information from being shared for marketing purposes." The bill was amended three times in the State Senate and five times in the State Assembly. It passed the Assembly on September 8, 2003 and the Senate on September 12, 2003. On September 24, 2003, Governor Gray Davis signed it into law. The bill became operative on January 1, 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://info.sen.ca.gov/pub/03-04/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/sb_27_bill_20030925_history.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「California Shine the Light law」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
