Video Consumer Privacy Act

Tennessee's state analogue to the federal Video Privacy Protection Act bars sellers and renters of prerecorded video and similar audiovisual materials from knowingly disclosing information that identifies a consumer as having requested or obtained specific video materials. Disclosure is allowed to the consumer, with informed written consent, for ordinary business operations, or for direct marketing after a clear opt-out opportunity, and records must be destroyed within a year after they are no longer needed.
