AI Summary

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law related to the security of personal financial information. It requires companies that own or license personal information of Massachusetts residents to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the security and confidentiality of that information. The bill also specifies certain requirements for these security programs, such as designating a security coordinator, identifying and assessing security risks, implementing appropriate safeguards, and overseeing third-party service providers. Additionally, the bill updates the notice requirements for consumers whose personal information has been breached, including information about their right to a security freeze and any associated fees.
