State Government Offers Guide for Businesses On Consumer Privacy
The New York State Attorney General’s office is offering a new Business Guide to Website Privacy Controls to help businesses better protect consumers who visit their websites.
Attorney General Letitia James said in a news release that businesses do not always accurately describe to website visitors how their information is tracked and the privacy controls they employ. The new guide:
- Identifies common mistakes businesses make
- Describes steps they can take to identify and prevent issues
- Provides information to help businesses comply with relevant state laws, including ensuring that the express or implied representations they make about tracking are truthful and not misleading
- Describes areas where businesses have had trouble and offers tips for avoiding issues
The guide is available on the Attorney General’s website.
