Massachusetts H96 regulates biometric recognition technology use to protect end users' privacy and data.

Massachusetts H96 establishes regulations for biometric recognition technology to safeguard end users' privacy and data. It mandates that covered entities, which include those collecting, storing, or processing biometric data, must act in end users' best interests. These entities must secure biometric data, prohibit harmful data practices, and prevent the use of biometric data for decisions with legal or significant effects. The bill also restricts the disclosure of biometric data to third parties and mandates that any third-party contracts must impose the same data protection duties.
