579579 9 (e) A company may process only the personal data
580580 10 reasonably necessary to provide an online service, product, or

584584 14 entity that provides an online service, product, or feature
585585 15 reasonably likely to be accessed by children shall not:
586586 16 (1) process the personal data of any child in a way
587587 17 that is inconsistent with the best interests of children
588588 18 reasonably likely to access the online service, product,
589589 19 or feature;
590590 20 (2) profile a child by default unless:
591591 21 (A) the covered entity can demonstrate it has
592592 22 appropriate safeguards in place to ensure that
593593 23 profiling is consistent with the best interests of
594594 24 children reasonably likely to access the online

610610 5 service, product, or feature with which a child is
611611 6 actively and knowingly engaged;
612612 7 (ii) the covered entity can demonstrate a
613613 8 compelling reason that profiling is in the best
614614 9 interests of children;
615615 10 (3) process any personal data that is not reasonably
616616 11 necessary to provide an online service, product, or
617617 12 feature with which a child is actively and knowingly
618618 13 engaged;
619619 14 (4) if the end user is a child, process personal data
620620 15 for any reason other than a reason for which that personal
621621 16 data was collected;
622622 17 (5) process any precise geolocation information of
623623 18 children by default, unless the collection of that precise
624624 19 geolocation information is strictly necessary for the
625625 20 covered entity to provide the service, product, or feature
626626 21 requested and then only for the limited time that the
627627 22 collection of precise geolocation information is necessary
628628 23 to provide the service, product, or feature;

643643 2 (7) use dark patterns to cause children to provide
644644 3 personal data beyond what is reasonably expected to
645645 4 provide that online service, product, or feature to forgo
646646 5 privacy protections, or to take any action that the
647647 6 covered entity knows, or has reason to know, is not in the
648648 7 best interests of children reasonably likely to access the
649649 8 online service, product, or feature; and
650650 9 (8) allow a child's parent, guardian, or any other
651651 10 consumer to monitor the child's online activity or track
652652 11 the child's location, without providing an obvious signal
653653 12 to the child when the child is being monitored or tracked.
654654 13 Section 35. Data practices.
655655 14 (a) A data protection impact assessment collected or
656656 15 maintained by the Attorney General under Section 25 is
657657 16 classified as nonpublic data.
658658 17 (b) To the extent any information contained in a data
659659 18 protection impact assessment disclosed to the Attorney General
660660 19 includes information subject to attorney-client privilege or
661661 20 work product protection, disclosure does not constitute a
662662 21 waiver of that privilege or protection.
663663 22 Section 40. Attorney General enforcement.
664664 23 (a) A covered entity that violates this Act may be subject

678678 3 intentional violation, which may be assessed or recovered only
679679 4 in a civil action brought by the Attorney General. If the State
680680 5 prevails in an action to enforce this Act, the State may, in
681681 6 addition to civil penalties provided by this subsection or
682682 7 other remedies provided by the law, be allowed an amount
683683 8 determined by the court to be the reasonable value of all or
684684 9 part of the State's litigation expenses incurred.
685685 10 (b) All moneys received by the Attorney General as civil
686686 11 penalties, fees, or other amounts under subsection (a) shall
687687 12 be deposited into the Age-Appropriate Design Code Enforcement
688688 13 Fund, a special fund created in the State treasury, and shall
689689 14 be used, subject to appropriation and as directed by the
690690 15 Attorney General, to offset costs incurred by the Attorney
691691 16 General in connection with the enforcement of this Act.
692692 17 (c) If a covered entity is in substantial compliance with
693693 18 the requirements of Section 25, the Attorney General shall,
694694 19 before initiating a civil action under this Section, provide
695695 20 written notice to the covered entity identifying the specific
696696 21 provisions of this Act that the Attorney General alleges have
697697 22 been or are being violated. If, for a covered entity that
698698 23 satisfied Section 50 or subsection (a) of Section 25 before
