BOSTON — More than eight months after the Senate passed its data privacy bill, House leadership on Wednesday said it will follow suit with its own this week, touting a proposal that strikes “an important balance between encouraging innovation and protecting the privacy rights of Massachusetts residents.”
The House Ways and Means Committee proposal (H 5472) would give consumers the “rights” to confirm whether their personal data is collected, processed or accessed, and to “opt out” of the collection and processing of personal data for the purposes of targeting advertising, the sale of data or “profiling in furtherance of solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer,” according to the bill.
