Prohibits lessors from using, selling, or sharing location tracking technology except for repossession when there is a rental agreement violation or when requested by the consumer.

Mandates that location tracking technology expire once the electronic device connects to the Internet after purchase completion, with suspension of notification requirements only if the device is reported stolen to police.

Prohibits lessors from installing monitoring technology on electronic devices except to provide remote technical assistance when requested, and restricts data acquisition and retention during assistance to only what is necessary and consented to.
