An Act establishing an internet bill of rights

This bill establishes a new chapter in Massachusetts law known as the Internet Bill of Rights to protect individuals' personal data. It creates a comprehensive legal framework that defines key terms like biometric data, consent, and controllers, and sets rules for how organizations can collect and share information. The legislation aims to ensure that personal data processing is transparent, lawful, and respects the privacy rights of data subjects within the state. By adding these definitions and standards to the General Laws, the bill provides a formal basis for regulating how both local and foreign entities handle citizen information.
