RFID Journal - Bowen Seeks Balance in RFID Law
“The bill is based on well-established principles, originally outlined in the Code of Fair Information Practices developed in 1973 by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. It calls for companies to inform consumers whenever companies use RFID tags– whether embedded in items being purchased or attached to them– to collect data. The merchants must obtain a consumer’s consent before they use RFID technology to track his or her purchases. It requires all RFID tags to be killed before the consumer leaves the store.”
