What this bill would do

The "My Body, My Data Act of 2025" aims to protect the privacy of personal reproductive and sexual health information. It requires regulated entities to limit the collection, retention, and use of such data to only what is strictly necessary to provide requested products or services. The bill grants individuals the right to access, correct, and delete their personal health information held by these entities. Additionally, it mandates that companies maintain and prominently publish clear privacy policies regarding these data practices. The Act also prohibits entities from retaliating against individuals who exercise their rights under the law. Enforcement is provided through the Federal Trade Commission and through individual civil actions.
