OneTrust analyses New Jersey's new Data Broker Act, which it calls one of the broadest state data broker registration frameworks to date.
Unlike California's Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform, which changes how registered brokers handle deletion requests, New Jersey asks whether an organisation qualifies as a data broker or data collector in the first place.
The law creates annual registration obligations, introduces a significant registration fee structure, sets daily penalties for failure to register, and prohibits the sale of sensitive data across organisations covered by the New Jersey Data Privacy Act.
OneTrust argues many organisations may be closer to scope than they think. The post closes with guidance on preparing before registration opens.
