This week the Massachusetts Senate will vote on comprehensive privacy legislation known as the Massachusetts Data Privacy Act (S.2608). We believe that strong data privacy legislation must ban the sale of our sensitive data, limit how companies handle our data, and provide a strong enforcement mechanism.

The Massachusetts Data Privacy Act, as written, achieves many of these goals, including a complete ban on the sale of sensitive data. There are several amendments our legislators can support to strengthen the bill, as well as amendments they should reject that will weaken it.

Please take a moment to email your State Lawmakers and ask them to pass the strongest version of data privacy legislation.
