Your Data Is Your Business

April 28, 2022

Earlier today, I lead the debate on our Data Privacy Bill in the House of Representatives. When this becomes law, it will protect you and your right to keep your data, and your children's data, private.

The legislation sets responsibilities and privacy protection standards while giving you – the consumer – the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of personal data collected on you as you participate in the digital economy. Importantly, the law will give you the right to opt out of allowing that information to be sold or used to provide targeted advertising to you as you navigate the internet.
 
The bill gives the Connecticut Attorney General the power to address any violations made regarding the improper use of your personal data. These measures will put Connecticut ahead of the curve in addressing consumer privacy, creating safeguards as technology only continues to advance.
 
You should be in control of your data! Now you will be!
