S. 3663 · 116th Congress
COVID–19 Consumer Data Protection Act of 2020
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

COVID-19 Consumer Data Protection Act of 2020
This bill generally prohibits covered entities from collecting, processing, or transferring an individual's personally identifiable information for the purpose of contact tracing with respect to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) without first obtaining the individual's affirmative consent to use such information. Applicable personally identifiable information includes, but is not limited to, precise geolocation data, long-lasting digital identifiers of individuals, and personal health information. However, such information does not include data that is de-identified, related to employee health screening for on-site entry, or publicly available.
Covered entities, which include businesses, common carriers, and certain nonprofit organizations, also must provide a mechanism for individuals to revoke prior affirmative consent.
