Radio-Frequency Identification Tracking and Privacy Act

The Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Tracking and Privacy Act aims to regulate how organizations use RFID technology—small chips that transmit data via radio waves—to track and identify objects or people. The law seeks to balance benefits like inventory management and security with privacy concerns by setting standards for data collection, storage, and sharing. It generally requires organizations to inform individuals if RFID tracking is in place and obtain consent where appropriate. Overall, the Act promotes responsible RFID use, protecting personal privacy while allowing the technology's advantages to be realized.
