During the holiday season, companies, offices and organizations statewide, experience higher levels of fraudulent activity involving consumer data and information. With this series of bills newly signed by the Governor, New York continues its commitment to protecting consumer data and safety both online and offline from dangerous activity.
“New Yorkers should never have to worry about their personal information being misused or falling into the wrong hands,” Governor Hochul said. “With this legislative package, we are taking bold action to hold companies accountable, strengthen protections, and give consumers the transparency and security they need and deserve. My administration will continue to lead the fight to protect privacy, combat fraud, and ensure every New Yorker can live and work with confidence in an increasingly digital world.”
