Va. House Panel Approves Kids' Privacy Bill

A Virginia kids’ privacy bill cleared the House Commerce Committee by a 22-0 vote Tuesday. HB-707 would stop data controllers from processing a child’s personal data for targeted advertising, sale or “profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning a consumer” unless it’s “reasonably necessary to provide the online service, product, or feature.” The bill could next go to the House floor.
