IL SB2121

Creates the Privacy Protections for Location Information Derived from Electronic Devices Act, making it unlawful for covered entities to collect or process an individual's location information (within 1,850 feet precision) except for permissible purposes such as providing requested services, completing transactions, complying with law, or responding to emergencies

Requires covered entities to provide a location privacy policy and obtain explicit opt-in consent before collecting location data, with consent expiring after one year or when the purpose is satisfied; entities must permanently destroy location information when consent expires

Prohibits selling, renting, trading, or leasing location information to third parties, and bars disclosure to government agencies without a valid warrant, legal mandate, data subject request, or imminent threat to life (explicitly excludes accessing reproductive health or abortion services from qualifying as an "imminent threat")

Authorizes private civil actions with damages of actual damages (including emotional distress) or $5,000 per violation (whichever is greater), plus punitive damages and attorney's fees; prohibits mandatory arbitration clauses for claims under this Act

Stated legislative intent is to protect reproductive health access, LGBTQ safety, religious liberty, and freedom of movement; exempts state/local government agencies, courts, individuals acting in non-commercial contexts, and HIPAA-protected health information
