What it does
The My Body, My Data Act restricts companies from collecting, keeping, or sharing reproductive and sexual health information unless strictly necessary to provide a service the person requested. It gives individuals the right to access, correct, and delete their reproductive/sexual health data, and requires companies to disclose which third parties received that information. The bill targets healthcare platforms, data brokers, and telehealth providers that currently monetize or share sensitive reproductive data.
Why we flagged it
The bill establishes strict data minimization and individual rights (access, correction, deletion) for reproductive and sexual health information held by regulated entities. It is fundamentally a consumer privacy protection measure with clear public-health and civil-liberties intent.
What the text implies
- Compliance costs for healthcare platforms, telehealth providers, and fertility/contraception apps will likely increase substantially due to mandatory data minimization, access/correction/deletion mechanisms, and detailed privacy policy requirements, potentially pricing out smaller competitors and consolidating the market.
- Deletion rights create direct conflict with HIPAA minimum retention requirements and state medical record laws, forcing regulated entities into impossible compliance situations where they must choose between federal law violations or inability to comply with this Act.
