A licensee or processor is prohibited from processing a consumer's personal data for purposes unrelated to a homeowner's insurance transaction, selling personal data, or engaging in targeted advertising or joint marketing of cobranded financial products without first obtaining the consumer's affirmative consent to any of those practices by exercising the right to opt in to those practices.

The bill prohibits a licensee from retaliating against a consumer with respect to the provision of homeowner's insurance and the terms of the insurance if the consumer does not consent to opt in to certain actions relating to their personal data.</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>The bill requires a licensee to:</p><p></p><p><ul><li>Enter into a contract with a processor to ensure that those processing personal data on behalf of the licensee are complying with the consumer data privacy protections; and</p><p><li>Have a retention policy to ensure that a consumer's personal data is deleted when it is no longer necessary for the insurance or other products or services to which the consumer has consented.</p><p></li></ul>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Additionally, if a licensee makes an adverse underwriting decision relating to a consumer's request for homeowner's insurance, the licensee must provide the consumer with the specific reasons for the adverse decision and allow the consumer to review the specific data relating to the adverse decision and to correct the data if appropriate.
