In the last couple of years within the United States of America, several states have recently enacted new legislation to address advances in cybersecurity, medical privacy, and other privacy-related laws.
More than a quarter of the states in the United States have introduced comprehensive data privacy legislation. However, only a few of the state's proposed legislation have advanced to the cross-chamber or cross-committee level, which means they have been debated in their respective state legislatures and are close to being signed into law.
See the below chart for a number of the Proposed Privacy Laws, Their Current Status, and what Rights they protect:
This Chart lays the information out pretty clearly in what you are protected from depending on the state. As we have discussed before, many companies may be doing this or have been doing it for a period of time. If you are in the right state, you can now ask for that information back or to be deleted.
The following are more specifics on states that have passed Privacy Related Legislation:

Finally, that any company or "controller" must receive explicit consent before processing a customer's data.
The Colorado privacy law SB-190, has similar traits to that of California's but also adds the following:
This law is another great step in Consumer and Personal Information being put back into the hands of everyone.
Nevada should be mentioned as it is a step in this direction, but ultimately,

While also Requires an operator(a person who owns or operates a commercial Internet website or online service or gathers and stores specific information about Nevada residents) to set up a designated request address where a consumer can send a verified request instructing the operator not to sell any covered information gathered about them.
A lot of what we do is because we think that your Privacy should be a given. Unfortunately, in this day and age, many companies took advantage of early loopholes to store data on their current and future consumers.
We believe that these states are just the beginning and we hope that all states will follow suit.
Until then, we're here to help.
