Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H3510 mandates that internet service providers cannot collect, use, or sell customer data without explicit written consent.

Massachusetts H3510 amends existing law to ensure that telecommunications and internet service providers cannot collect, use, disclose, or disseminate personal information from customers without their express written approval. This applies to any provider operating in Massachusetts, regardless of whether they have a franchise agreement with the state. The bill also prohibits providers from charging additional fees to customers who do not consent to data collection. This measure aims to protect customer privacy by requiring explicit consent for data handling practices.
