Category narrative54 words

There is no federal statutory access/erasure/portability right of general application. State comprehensive privacy laws (19 enacted as of 2025) grant consumers rights to access, correct, and delete personal data, and opt-out rights for targeted advertising, sale, and profiling. COPPA separately gives parents rights to review and delete a child's data held by covered operators.

Data Subject Rights

The newly effective Kentucky, Indiana, and Rhode Island comprehensive privacy laws are understood to grant consumers rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain copies of their personal data, consistent with the general rights structure seen in other state comprehensive privacy statutes. However, the specific scope and mechanics of these rights as codified in the Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island statutes have not yet been independently verified against primary statutory text this cycle, and this summary should be read as a qualified account pending that verification.

This continues the pattern established by earlier state comprehensive privacy laws, extending broadly similar access, correction, deletion, and portability rights to residents of three additional states as of January 1, 2026.

Outlook

Independent verification of the specific data-subject-rights provisions in the Indiana, Kentucky, and Rhode Island statutes against primary legislative text remains an open item for a future cycle. Until that verification occurs, the precise contours of these rights, including any exemptions or thresholds, should be treated as provisional.
