This bill updates Kentucky's consumer data privacy law in two ways: it creates an exemption for certain health information already protected under the federal HIPAA law, and it requires businesses to conduct a safety review when processing personal data for profiling that could unfairly impact consumers. These changes adjust how existing privacy rules apply to health data and add a step to protect people from potentially discriminatory data profiling. Who it may affect: patients whose health information is held by providers, and consumers whose personal data may be used for profiling purposes.
