State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione says the "Texas Data Privacy and Security Act" gives residents five rights to control their data.
Lawmakers in the Texas House initially passed a bill Tuesday aimed at protecting personal online data.
"Each and every moment of every single day, information about you and your family is collected, stored, analyzed, processed and sold. Every day, hundreds of companies gather facts about you, make predictions about your behavior and offer your personal data to advertisers, researchers, bad actors and even foreign countries," State Rep. Giovanni Capriglione (R-Southlake) said.
Capriglione is one of the authors of House Bill 4, along with State Reps. Oscar Longoria (D-Mission), Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) and Morgan Meyer (R-Dallas).
