The Blue Shield Privacy Act of 2025 expands federal privacy protections by adding four new types of personal information to the legal definition of "restricted personal information" under federal law: license plate numbers, biometric information (such as fingerprints or facial recognition data), workplace addresses, and GPS coordinates. These additions join existing protected categories like home addresses and phone numbers. The bill affects anyone whose personal information could be targeted or misused, and it applies to organizations that collect or handle such data. No specific funding or implementation timeline is mentioned in the legislation; the changes would take effect upon the bill's enactment by amending existing privacy law in Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
