THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2019

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

 

relating to privacy.

 

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 


     SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that information technology is constantly growing in prominence and ubiquity.  As the role of technology and data in the daily lives of consumers increases, there is a corresponding increase in the amount of identifying information shared by consumers with businesses.  Many businesses collect identifying information from consumers, including such things as where a consumer lives; how many children a consumer has; how fast a consumer drives; a consumer's sleep habits, biometric data, and health information; a consumer's financial information; precise geolocation information relating to a consumer's position; and information accessible through social media networks.

     The legislature further finds that the unauthorized disclosure of identifying information and loss of privacy can have devastating effects for individuals, ranging from financial fraud, identity theft, and unnecessary personal time and financial costs to destruction of property, harassment, reputational damage, emotional stress, and even potential physical harm.  In March 2018, it came to light that tens of millions of people had their personal data misused by a data mining firm called Cambridge Analytica.  A series of congressional hearings highlighted that identifying information may be vulnerable to misuse when shared on the internet.  These proceedings exposed the lack of any sort of sunshine law for internet data brokers and highlighted the need for such a law.

     Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to:

     (1)  Require a business to disclose the categories and specific pieces of identifying information that the business collects about a consumer upon verifiable request from the consumer;

     (2)  Require a business to disclose the identity of third parties to which the business has sold or transferred identifying information about a consumer upon verifiable request from the consumer;

     (3)  Require a business to publicly disclose the categories of identifying information that the business collects from consumers and the purposes for collection;

     (4)  Require a business to delete identifying information collected from a consumer upon verifiable request from the consumer;

     (5)  Authorize consumers to opt out of the sale of identifying information by a business;

     (6)  Prohibit a business from selling the identifying information of an individual under sixteen years of age unless affirmatively authorized to do so; and

     (7)  Prohibit a business from discriminating against consumers who exercise their rights to request disclosures or deletions or to opt out.

     SECTION 2.  Chapter 487J, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding a new part to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:
