SB3241

Illinois Age-Appropriate Design Code Act mandates online services, products, or features accessible to children to be designed with their best.

The Illinois Age-Appropriate Design Code Act requires covered entities to complete a data protection impact assessment for online services, products, or features reasonably likely to be accessed by children. It mandates these entities to review and modify data practices, ensure default privacy settings are high, and avoid profiling children by default. The Act also prohibits certain data processing practices that could harm children, such as collecting precise geolocation data without notice or using dark patterns to manipulate children. Violations can result in civil penalties.
