The Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (ROSCA) is a United States federal law passed during the 111th United States Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama. The legislation was introduced as S.B.3386 by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) on May 19, 2010, and signed into law on December 29, 2010.[1][2]
The legislation was drafted to protect online consumers from being automatically enrolled in services that would lead to them receiving recurring charges without their explicit consent.[3][4] Additionally, the law places certain limits on online sellers' ability to share consumer data with third party actors.[5]
