BOSTON — Massachusetts is poised to become the first state to restrict the use of personal information by technology companies as part of a data privacy package working its way through Beacon Hill’s legislative process.
The state House of Representatives approved a bill Thursday that would prohibit companies from collecting more data than necessary for products or services, and shield sensitive information like biometric and health data. The state Senate approved a similar version of the Massachusetts Consumer Data Privacy Act in September.
