United States of America: Community Privacy and Safety Act (SB 420) was introduced to New Mexico Senate

On 17 February 2025, the Community Privacy and Safety Act was introduced to the New Mexico Senate, aiming to strengthen consumer data protection. The Act requires platforms to set default high privacy settings and provide clear privacy information. It also seeks to ensure restrictions for minors, including limiting contact with unknown users and disabling notifications at certain hours. It also prohibits profiling, unnecessary data processing, dark patterns, and targeting sensitive data for advertising without explicit consent. Consumers are granted rights to access, correct, delete, and transfer data, with service providers required to comply with security and purpose-limited data processing. The Act also provides that violations will incur civil penalties.
