Bill > H3360

This bill requires that anyone selling a photocopier in Massachusetts must clearly display a notice on the machine stating whether it has an eraser function that deletes previously captured images from its hard drive, and it must also warn users about the risk of their private data or images being retained. Violators of this rule face a civil fine of up to $50,000 and can be held responsible for any misuse of private data or images, with potential recovery for victims including actual damages or up to triple that amount if the violation was willful or knowing. The attorney general is also empowered to take legal action to address these violations.
