United States of America: Rejected Maine Act To Protect Consumers' Privacy (LD 1982)
Description
Rejected Maine Act To Protect Consumers' Privacy (LD 1982)
On 22 March 2022, the "Act To Protect Consumers' Privacy by Giving Them Greater Control of Their Data and To Establish Consumer Protections Regarding Small Dollar Loans" (LD 1982/SP 713) is rejected. The bill would have introduced the consumers' rights to request personal information access and deletion. Moreover, the bill would have allowed consumers to opt-out from the sale of personal data and bring a civil action to recover damages in the case of unauthorized access to personal information due to the failure of the protective measures enacted by the data controller.
