(Hartford, Conn. WTIC)-Lawmakers are considering a sweeping privacy law to benefit both businesses and consumers.

The  measure  works "to establish a framework for controlling and processing personal data, to establish responsibilities and privacy protection standards for data controllers and processors, to grant consumers the right to access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of personal data and to opt out of the processing of personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising."


The Attorney General's office has three lawyers in the Privacy Division.  Manchester State Representative Geoff Luxenberg says considering  the signifcance of the issues,  the staff should be larger.

The measure is being considered by the General Law Committee.
