The Montana Consumer Data Privacy Act (MTCDPA) took effect on October 1, 2024, and its lower coverage thresholds mean it protects Montanans' data across a wider range of companies than most state laws reach. It lets Montanans access, correct, delete, and opt out of the sale and targeted-advertising uses of their data, and a 2025 amendment added strong new protections for the data of minors.
Colorado was among the first states to let people opt out of online tracking with a single browser signal rather than site by site, a requirement built into the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) that has been in effect since July 1, 2023. The law gives Coloradans the same core rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out, and it empowers the Attorney General to write detailed rules carrying it out.
Passed in 2023, the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act (INCDPA) carried one of the longest lead times of any state privacy law and did not take effect until January 1, 2026. Modeled on Virginia's law, it gives Indiana residents the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal data and to opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of their data, and profiling.
The Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA), in effect since December 31, 2023, is the most limited of the state privacy laws and reaches only larger companies, those taking in at least 25 million dollars a year. It gives Utahns no right to correct inaccurate data, and, like Iowa, it lets businesses handle sensitive information as long as they provide a chance to opt out rather than asking permission first.
