consumer privacy

NBC 7 Responds’ Consumer Bob looks at the pilot programs and privacy concerns over digital identification.

In the digital age, many of us carry our phones at all times. A lot of information is stored on them, and ID cards like driver’s licenses could be upcoming additions.

It’s a not so private world, but new laws will make that less so in California. NBC 7’s Consumer Bob explains.

In November, Californians voted in favor of Proposition 24 which will strengthen the state’s privacy laws. Those changes won’t happen overnight. Instead they’ll take about two years to be enforced.
