Subject Support HB 3494!

Dear Legislator,

As a constituent concerned about protecting personal privacy, I write to urge you to support and sponsor HB 3494, the Protect Health Data Privacy Act. Data about our health is among the most personal, private information about an individual. Today, there are dozens of programs and apps that collect and catalog that data.

Entities that collect health care data can currently share the information with third parties without any restrictions. That lack of regulation means that our data could end up in the wrong hands.

Message Body

HB 3494 gives the control over our data to consumers in this state – requiring entities that collect and share this data to disclose the specific types of data being collected, if the information is being shared with the third parties and get a person’s consent before they collect, share, sell or store that data.

Please support HB 3494 to safeguard this critical health data for every Illinois resident, and significantly reduce the likelihood that anyone’s sensitive health information ends up in the wrong hands.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
