Life & Work
Small businesses that handle any reproductive or sexual health data, such as health and wellness apps, online pharmacies, or retailers selling reproductive health products, would face new compliance obligations. They would need to build data access, correction, and deletion systems, publish detailed privacy policies, and restrict employee access to this data. The cost of compliance and risk of lawsuits could be significant for smaller companies with limited legal and technical resources.
“A regulated entity shall make available a reasonable mechanism by which an individual, upon a verified request, may direct the deletion of any personal reproductive or sexual health information relating to such individual”
