Privacy Bill Clears Washington State Senate

The Washington State Senate has passed a privacy bill that would give state residents new rights over data collection and use, including the right to opt out of targeted advertising.

The bill gives residents the right to access data about themselves, correct errors, delete the information, and opt out of having their data used for ad targeting and profiling.

A similar bill was passed by the state Senate last year, but stalled in the House.
