Summary
This bill, the My Body, My Data Act of 2025, creates new federal privacy protections specifically for personal reproductive and sexual health information. It requires companies to minimize the data they collect, retain, and share to only what is strictly necessary for the services a person has requested. Individuals get rights to access, correct, and delete their data. Companies must publish detailed privacy policies and cannot retaliate against people who exercise their rights. The FTC enforces the law, and individuals can also sue directly, with damages of $100 to $1,000 per violation per day. Pre-dispute arbitration clauses are voided for disputes under this law. The bill covers a broad definition of reproductive health data including pregnancy status, menstruation tracking, abortion care, contraceptive use, and even algorithmically inferred health information.
