It is a 6-step plan for-profit businesses use to meet the Florida Digital Bill of Rights (FDBR), which took effect July 1, 2024. The steps below cover consumer-rights request handling, privacy-notice disclosures, opt-out mechanisms, data-processing agreements, and security safeguards required under Florida law.

Who has to comply with the Florida Digital Bill of Rights?

The FDBR generally applies to for-profit businesses that handle Florida residents' personal data above the law's revenue and data-volume thresholds. Whether it applies to you depends on the specifics — check your exact obligations with the free applicability calculator at /calculator rather than assuming.

What is the penalty for FDBR non-compliance?

The Florida Department of Legal Affairs (Attorney General) can impose civil penalties of up to $50,000 per violation and a 45-day cure period to fix violations before a fine. There is no private right of action, so enforcement comes from the state, not individual lawsuits. Figures verified August 3, 2026.
