The 'You Own the Data Act' emphasizes individual ownership of personal data and aims to protect user privacy and control over their data. It mandates written consent for sharing user contacts, provides users with access, correction, and deletion rights over their data, restricts data collection by commercial entities, and requires transparency and security measures. The Act also prohibits tracking cookies without user consent and sets enforcement mechanisms including penalties for violations. Additionally, it defines terms such as 'covered data,' 'covered entity,' and 'large online operator' and establishes specific criteria for commercial data operators.
