In plain language

The bill prohibits security surveillance companies from sharing consumer footage without consent.

This bill establishes that security surveillance companies cannot distribute or allow third-party access to video content without the consumer's consent or a court order. This adds a layer of privacy protection for individuals using surveillance systems.

What this means for you
  • Families: Your family's privacy is enhanced by ensuring surveillance footage cannot be distributed without permission.
  • Consumers: If you have a security surveillance system, your footage cannot be shared without your consent.

Summary

Existing law establishes various privacy protections relating to the collection, use, sale, or distribution of personal information, images, or video recordings, including restrictions relating to the retention, access, use, sale, or sharing of images or video recordings collected through the operation of an in-vehicle camera. This bill would prohibit a security surveillance company, as defined, from distributing, selling, or otherwise authorizing a third party to access, use, or distribute content obtained from a consumer's security surveillance system without first obtaining the express consent of the consumer and the adult residents of a residential rental property or upon receipt of an order of a court or arbitrator.
