An Act relative to consumer health data
This bill creates new rules for how companies in Massachusetts handle consumers' health information. It directly affects businesses that collect health data (like fitness apps, health insurers, or telemedicine services) by requiring clear, specific consent before gathering or sharing such data. Key provisions include banning deceptive website designs meant to trick users into agreeing, prohibiting consent obtained through broad terms of service, and defining strict limits on selling health data to third parties. The law also clarifies that precise location data used to find health services is protected under these rules.
