Privacy, Information Freedom, Internet
58. Personal Data Privacy
We demand that all rights to privacy that individuals have in their homes shall be extended to all digital data via the use of strong public key encryption technologies. We call upon Texas to prohibit vendors of the State of Texas and its subdivisions from selling or sharing data captured in providing services to Texans. We support laws limiting the ways in which internet providers, data brokers, electronic applications, websites, schools, government entities, and others may access the electronic communications or documents of all Texans. We support a no-cost smart meter opt out for utility customers, or the provision of an auditable option to limit storing data to only once per monthly bill cycle
