  8. The privacy interests of employees and independent contractors should also be protected, taking into account the differences in the relationship between employees or independent contractors and businesses, as compared to the relationship between consumers and businesses.

It is the purpose and Intent of the Act to extend the exemptions in this title for employee and business to business communications until January 1, 2023

Adds a right to opt out of automated decision-making technology, in connection with decisions related to a consumer’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements. Opt-out right explicitly extends to sharing of PI used for cross-context behavioral advertising.
