HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut consumers will be able to know when their personal information is being tracked and how it’s being used under a wide-ranging data privacy bill that’s headed to Gov. Ned Lamont’s desk. The legislation, dubbed a “consumer bill of rights,” cleared the House of Representatives by a vote of 144-5 on Thursday. It passed unanimously in the Senate last week. The bill also allows people to access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of their personal data, as well as opt out from having their information used by marketers, retailers and others for various purposes such as targeted advertising.
