What this bill does
H.R. 3916, the "My Body, My Data Act of 2025," would establish new federal privacy rules for personal reproductive and sexual health information—such as data related to pregnancy, contraception, menstruation, fertility, or efforts to obtain reproductive health services. Covered businesses ("regulated entities") would be required to limit collection, use, retention, and sharing of such data to what is strictly necessary to provide a requested product or service, restrict employee access to it, and publish a clear privacy policy detailing their data practices. Individuals would gain rights to access, correct, and delete their data, and entities could not charge fees for these requests or retaliate against people who exercise them, such as by denying service or charging different prices.
The bill applies broadly to companies under FTC jurisdiction, including many apps, websites, and data brokers, but exempts entities already regulated under HIPAA health-privacy rules or certain substance-use-treatment confidentiality laws. It would be enforced both by the Federal Trade Commission and by individuals through private lawsuits, with set damages, potential punitive damages, and attorney's fees; pre-dispute arbitration clauses and class-action waivers related to this law would be invalid. The law would not preempt state laws offering stronger privacy protections.
The bill was introduced on June 11, 2025, by Rep. Sara Jacobs and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. It has not yet received committee action, floor votes, or Senate consideration, and its future prospects are uncertain at this stage.
