Mass Standards for the Protection of Personal Information of Residents of the Commonwealth
In 2007, the Legislature passed a comprehensive set of laws addressing data breaches. Under that law are a set of regulations that affect any business that collects and retains personal information of its customers. For the purpose of these regulations, “personal information” includes names, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers or financial account numbers, including credit or debit card numbers.
On February 12, 2009, the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation filed final regulations that will protect personal information of residents of the Commonwealth.
