Data Broker and Data Collector Registration and Sensitive Data Sale Ban (P.L.2026, c.25)
NJ Data Broker LawThis 2026 law creates an annual registry of data brokers and data collectors that sell or license New Jersey consumers' personal data, with fees scaled by the number of consumers affected, and requires detailed disclosures about opt-out, deletion, breach history, and minors' data. It also bars data brokers and data collectors from selling or licensing sensitive data to anyone, backed by a $50,000-per-record penalty. The law took effect on signing, but the Division's public registry duty became operative 270 days later.
