Responsibility according to role. 5 (a) Controllers and processors are responsible for meeting 6 the respective obligations established under this Act. 7 (b) Processors are responsible under this Act for adhering 8 to the instructions of the controller and assisting the 9 controller to meet the controller's obligations under this 10 Act. Assistance under this subsection shall include the 11 following: 12 (1) taking into account the nature of the processing, 13 the processor shall assist the controller by appropriate 14 technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is 15 possible, for the fulfillment of the controller's 16 obligation to respond to consumer requests to exercise 17 their rights under Section 14; and 18 (2) taking into account the nature of processing and 19 the information available to the processor, the processor 20 shall assist the controller in meeting the controller's 21 obligations in relation to the security of processing the 22 personal data and in relation to the notification of a 23 breach of the security of the system under the Illinois 24 Personal Information Protection Act and provide 25 information to the controller necessary to enable the SB0340 Engrossed - 18 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 controller to conduct and document any data privacy and 2 protection assessments required by Section 18. 3 (c) A contract between a controller and a processor shall 4 govern the processor's data processing procedures with respect 5 to processing performed on behalf of the controller. The 6 contract shall be binding on both parties and clearly set 7 forth instructions for processing data, the nature and purpose 8 of processing, the type of data subject to processing, the 9 duration of processing, and the rights and obligations of both 10 parties. The contract shall also require that the processor: 11 (1) ensure that each person processing the personal 12 data is subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect 13 to the data; 14 (2) engage a subcontractor only under a written 15 contract in accordance with this subsection (c) that 16 requires the subcontractor to meet the obligations of the 17 processor with respect to the personal data; 18 (3) at the choice of the controller, delete or return 19 all personal data to the controller as requested at the 20 end of the provision of services, unless retention of the 21 personal data is required by law; 22 (4) upon a reasonable request from the controller, 23 make available to the controller all information necessary 24 to demonstrate compliance with the obligations in this 25 Act; and 26 (5) allow for, and contribute to, reasonable SB0340 Engrossed - 19 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 assessments and inspections by the controller or the 2 controller's designated assessor. Alternatively, the 3 processor may arrange for a qualified and independent 4 assessor to conduct, at least annually and at the 5 processor's expense, an assessment of the processor's 6 policies and technical and organizational measures in 7 support of the obligations under this Act. The assessor 8 must use an appropriate and accepted control standard or 9 framework and assessment procedure for assessments as 10 applicable and provide a report of an assessment to the 11 controller upon request. 12 (d) Taking into account the context of processing, the 13 controller and the processor shall implement appropriate 14 technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of 15 security appropriate to the risk and establish a clear 16 allocation of the responsibilities between the controller and 17 the processor to implement the technical and organizational 18 measures. 19 (e) In no event shall any contract relieve a controller or 20 a processor from the liabilities imposed on a controller or 21 processor by virtue of the controller's or processor's roles 22 in the processing relationship under this Act. Notwithstanding 23 any other provision of this Act, if a processor processes data 24 under a binding contract that sets forth the processing 25 instructions and limits the actions the processor may take 26 with respect to the data it processes on behalf of the SB0340 Engrossed - 20 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 controller, the processor is not liable for the controller's 2 actions that led to a violation of this Act. 3 (f) Determining whether a person is acting as a controller 4 or processor with respect to a specific processing of data is a 5 fact-based determination that depends upon the context in 6 which personal data are to be processed. A person that is not 7 limited in the person's processing of personal data pursuant 8 to a controller's instructions, or that fails to adhere to a 9 controller's instructions, is a controller and not a processor 10 with respect to a specific processing of data. A processor 11 that continues to adhere to a controller's instructions with 12 respect to a specific processing of personal data remains a 13 processor. If a processor begins, alone or jointly with 14 others, determining the purposes and means of the processing 15 of personal data, the processor is a controller with respect 16 to the processing. 17 Section 14. Consumer personal data rights. 18 (a)(1) Consumer rights provided. Except as provided in 19 this Act, a controller must comply with a request to exercise 20 the consumer rights provided in this subsection (a). 21 (2) A consumer has the right to confirm whether or not a 22 controller is processing personal data concerning the consumer 23 and access the personal data the controller is processing. 24 (3) A consumer has the right to correct inaccurate 25 personal data concerning the consumer taking into account the SB0340 Engrossed - 21 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 nature of the personal data and the purposes of the processing 2 of the personal data. 3 (4) A consumer has the right to delete personal data 4 concerning the consumer. 5 (5) A consumer has the right to obtain personal data 6 concerning the consumer, which the consumer previously 7 provided to the controller, in a portable and, to the extent 8 technically feasible, readily usable format that allows the 9 consumer to transmit the data to another controller without 10 hindrance, where the processing is carried out by automated 11 means. 12 (6) A consumer has the right to opt out of the processing 13 of personal data concerning the consumer for purposes of: (i) 14 targeted advertising, (ii) the sale of personal data, or (iii) 15 profiling in furtherance of automated decisions that produce 16 legal effects concerning a consumer or similarly significant 17 effects concerning a consumer. 18 (7) If a consumer's personal data is profiled in 19 furtherance of decisions that produce legal effects concerning 20 a consumer or similarly significant effects concerning a 21 consumer, the consumer has the right to question the result of 22 the profiling, only if the profiling produces legal or 23 similarly significant effects concerning the consumer. The 24 consumer has the right to review the consumer's personal data 25 used in the profiling. If the decision is determined to have 26 been based upon inaccurate personal data taking into account SB0340 Engrossed - 22 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 the nature of the personal data and the purposes of the 2 processing of the personal data, the consumer has the right to 3 have the data corrected and the profiling decision reevaluated 4 based upon the corrected data. 5 (8) A consumer has a right to obtain general descriptions 6 of categories of third parties to which the controller has 7 disclosed the consumer's personal data, unless such a list of 8 specific third parties is readily available to the controller. 9 (b)(1) Exercising consumer rights.

A consumer may designate an 25 authorized agent by way of, among other things, a technology, 26 including, but not limited to, an Internet link or a browser SB0340 Engrossed - 23 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 setting, browser extension, or global device setting, 2 indicating the consumer's intent to opt out of the processing. 3 A controller shall comply with an opt-out request received 4 from an authorized agent if the controller is able to verify, 5 with commercially reasonable effort, the identity of the 6 consumer and the authorized agent's authority to act on the 7 consumer's behalf. 8 (c)(1) Universal opt-out mechanisms. A controller must 9 allow a consumer to opt out of any processing of the consumer's 10 personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising, 11 profiling in furtherance of automated decisions that produce 12 legal effects concerning the consumer or any sale of the 13 consumer's personal data through an opt-out preference signal 14 sent, with the consumer's consent, by a platform, technology, 15 or mechanism to the controller indicating the consumer's 16 intent to opt out of the processing, profiling, or sale. The 17 platform, technology, or mechanism must: 18 (A) not unfairly disadvantage another controller; 19 (B) not make use of a default setting but require the 20 consumer to make an affirmative, freely given, and 21 unambiguous choice to opt out of the processing of the 22 consumer's personal data; 23 (C) be consumer-friendly and easy to use by the 24 average consumer; 25 (D) be as consistent as possible with any other 26 similar platform, technology, or mechanism required by any SB0340 Engrossed - 24 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 federal or State law or regulation; and 2 (E) enable the controller to accurately determine 3 whether the consumer is an Illinois resident and whether 4 the consumer has made a legitimate request to opt out of 5 any sale of the consumer's personal data profiling in 6 furtherance of automated decisions that produce legal 7 effects concerning the consumer, or targeted advertising. 8 For purposes of this paragraph, the use of an Internet 9 protocol address to estimate the consumer's location is 10 sufficient to determine the consumer's residence. 11 (2) If a consumer's opt-out request is exercised through 12 the platform, technology, or mechanism required under 13 subsection (c)(1), and the request conflicts with the 14 consumer's existing controller-specific privacy setting or 15 voluntary participation in a controller's bona fide loyalty, 16 rewards, premium features, discounts, or club card program, 17 the controller must comply with the consumer's opt-out 18 preference signal but may also notify the consumer of the 19 conflict and provide the consumer a choice to confirm the 20 controller-specific privacy setting or participation in the 21 controller's program. 22 (3) A controller that recognizes opt-out preference 23 signals that have been approved by other state laws or 24 regulations is in compliance with this subdivision. 25 (d)(1) Controller response to consumer requests. Except as 26 provided in this Act, a controller must comply with a request SB0340 Engrossed - 25 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 to exercise the rights pursuant to subsection (a). 2 (2) A controller must provide one or more secure and 3 reliable means for consumers to submit a request to exercise 4 the consumer's rights under this Section. The means made 5 available must take into account the ways in which consumers 6 interact with the controller and the need for secure and 7 reliable communication of the requests. 8 (3) A controller may not require a consumer to create a new 9 account to exercise a right, but a controller may require a 10 consumer to use an existing account to exercise the consumer's 11 rights under this Section. 12 (4) A controller must comply with a request to exercise 13 the rights under this Section as soon as feasibly possible, 14 but no later than 45 days after the receipt of the request, 15 unless the controller extends the time. 16 (5) A controller must inform a consumer of any action 17 taken on a request under subsection (b) without undue delay 18 and in any event within 45 days after the receipt of the 19 request. That period may be extended once by 45 additional 20 days where reasonably necessary taking into account the 21 complexity and number of the requests. The controller must 22 inform the consumer of any extension within the original 23 45-day window, together with the reasons for the delay. 24 (6) If a controller does not take action on a consumer's 25 request, the controller must inform the consumer without undue 26 delay and at the latest within 45 days after the receipt of the SB0340 Engrossed - 26 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 request of the reasons for not taking action and instructions 2 for how to appeal the decision with the controller as 3 described in subsection (e). 4 (7) Information provided under this Section must be 5 provided by the controller free of charge up to twice annually 6 to the consumer. If requests from a consumer are manifestly 7 unfounded or excessive, in particular because of the 8 repetitive character of the requests, the controller may 9 either charge a reasonable fee to cover the administrative 10 costs of complying with the request or refuse to act on the 11 request. The controller bears the burden of demonstrating the 12 manifestly unfounded or excessive character of the request. 13 (8) A controller is not required to comply with a request 14 to exercise any of the rights under subsection (a), paragraphs 15 (2) to (5) and (8), if the controller is unable to authenticate 16 the request using commercially reasonable efforts. In such 17 cases, the controller may request the provision of additional 18 information reasonably necessary to authenticate the request. 19 A controller is not required to authenticate an opt-out 20 request, but a controller may deny an opt-out request if the 21 controller has a good faith, reasonable, and documented belief 22 that the request is fraudulent. If a controller denies an 23 opt-out request because the controller believes a request is 24 fraudulent, the controller must notify the person who made the 25 request that the request was denied because of the 26 controller's belief that the request was fraudulent and state SB0340 Engrossed - 27 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 the controller's basis for that belief. 2 (9) In response to a consumer request under subsection 3 (b), a controller must not disclose the following information 4 about a consumer but must instead inform the consumer with 5 sufficient particularity that the controller has collected 6 that type of information: 7 (A) Social Security number; 8 (B) driver's license number or other government-issued 9 identification number; 10 (C) financial account number; 11 (D) health insurance account number or medical 12 identification number; 13 (E) account password, security questions, or answers; 14 or 15 (F) biometric identifiers or information. 16 (10) In response to a consumer request under subsection 17 (b), a controller is not required to reveal any trade secret. 18 (11) A controller that has obtained personal data about a 19 consumer from a source other than the consumer may comply with 20 a consumer's request to delete the consumer's personal data 21 pursuant to subsection (a), paragraph (4), by either: 22 (A) retaining a record of the deletion request, 23 retaining the minimum data necessary for the purpose of 24 ensuring the consumer's personal data remains deleted from 25 the business's records and not using the retained data for 26 any other purpose under the provisions of this Act; or SB0340 Engrossed - 28 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 (B) opting the consumer out of the processing of 2 personal data for any purpose except for the purposes 3 exempted pursuant to the provisions of this Act. 4 (e)(1) Appeal process required. A controller must 5 establish an internal process in which a consumer may appeal a 6 refusal to take action on a request to exercise any of the 7 rights under subsection (a) within a reasonable period of time 8 after the consumer's receipt of the notice sent by the 9 controller under subsection (d), paragraph (6). 10 (2) The appeal process must be conspicuously available. 11 The process must include the ease of use provisions in 12 subsection (c)(1) applicable to submitting requests. 13 (3) Within 45 days after the receipt of an appeal, a 14 controller must inform the consumer of any action taken or not 15 taken in response to the appeal along with a written 16 explanation of the reasons in support thereof. That period may 17 be extended by 60 additional days if reasonably necessary, 18 taking into account the complexity and number of the requests 19 serving as the basis for the appeal. The controller must 20 inform the consumer of any extension within 45 days after the 21 receipt of the appeal together with the reasons for the delay. 22 (4) When informing a consumer of any action taken or not 23 taken in response to an appeal pursuant to paragraph (3), the 24 controller must provide a written explanation of the reasons 25 for the controller's decision and clearly and prominently 26 provide the consumer with information about how to file a SB0340 Engrossed - 29 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 complaint with the Attorney General. The controller must 2 maintain records of all appeals and the controller's responses 3 for at least 24 months and shall, upon written request by the 4 Attorney General as part of an investigation, compile and 5 provide a copy of the records to the Attorney General. 6 Section 15. Processing deidentified data or pseudonymous 7 data. 8 (a) This Act does not require a controller or processor to 9 do any of the following solely for purposes of complying with 10 this Act: 11 (1) reidentify deidentified data; 12 (2) maintain data in identifiable form, or collect, 13 obtain, retain, or access any data or technology, to be 14 capable of associating an authenticated consumer request 15 with personal data; or 16 (3) comply with an authenticated consumer request to 17 access, correct, delete, or port personal data under 18 Section 14, subsection (a), if all of the following are 19 true: 20 (A) the controller is not reasonably capable of 21 associating the request with the personal data, or it 22 would be unreasonably burdensome for the controller to 23 associate the request with the personal data; 24 (B) the controller does not use the personal data 25 to recognize or respond to the specific consumer who SB0340 Engrossed - 30 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 is the subject of the personal data or associate the 2 personal data with other personal data about the same 3 specific consumer; and 4 (C) the controller does not sell the personal data 5 to any third party or otherwise voluntarily disclose 6 the personal data to any third party other than a 7 processor, except as otherwise permitted in this 8 Section. 9 (b) The rights contained in paragraphs (2) to (5) and (8) 10 of subsection (a) of Section 14 do not apply to pseudonymous 11 data in cases in which the controller is able to demonstrate 12 any information necessary to identify the consumer is kept 13 separately and is subject to effective technical and 14 organizational controls that prevent the controller from 15 accessing the information. 16 (c) A controller that transfers, sells, or otherwise 17 discloses pseudonymous data or deidentified data must exercise 18 reasonable oversight to monitor compliance with any 19 contractual commitments to which the pseudonymous data or 20 deidentified data are subject, and must take appropriate steps 21 to address any breaches of contractual commitments. 22 (d) A processor or third party must not attempt to 23 identify the subjects of deidentified or pseudonymous data 24 without the express authority of the controller that caused 25 the data to be deidentified or pseudonymized. 26 (e) A controller, processor, or third party must not SB0340 Engrossed - 31 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 attempt to identify the subjects of data that has been 2 collected with only pseudonymous identifiers. 3 Section 16.

This method may include but is not limited to an 11 Internet hyperlink clearly labeled "Your Opt-Out Rights" or 12 "Your Privacy Rights" that directly effectuates the opt-out 13 request or takes consumers to a web page where the consumer can 14 make the opt-out request. 15 (3) The privacy notice must be made available to the 16 public in each language in which the controller provides a 17 product or service that is subject to the privacy notice or 18 carries out activities related to the product or service. 19 (4) The controller must provide the privacy notice in a 20 manner that is reasonably accessible to and usable by 21 individuals with disabilities. 22 (5) Whenever a controller makes a material change to the 23 controller's privacy notice or practices, the controller must 24 notify consumers affected by the material change with respect 25 to any prospectively collected personal data and provide a 26 reasonable opportunity for consumers to withdraw consent to SB0340 Engrossed - 33 - LRB104 06459 JRC 16495 b 1 any further materially different collection, processing, or 2 transfer of previously collected personal data under the 3 changed policy.
