Your Rights as an Arizona Resident

Under Arizona’s current legal framework, residents have very limited privacy rights compared to states with comprehensive privacy laws. The primary protections relate to data breach notifications rather than ongoing privacy controls.

• Right to breach notification – You must be notified within 45 days if your personal information is compromised in a data breach involving an Arizona business[4][5]
• Right to accurate breach information – Breach notifications must include specific details about what information was compromised and steps you can take to protect yourself[5]
• Limited biometric protections – Some pending legislation may provide rights regarding biometric data collection, but these are not yet in effect[1][8]
• No right to know – Arizona law does not currently require businesses to disclose what personal data they collect about you
• No right to delete – Businesses are not required to delete your personal information upon request
• No right to opt out – You cannot legally require businesses to stop selling your personal information to third parties
• No right to correct data – There is no general right to have businesses correct inaccurate personal information

The absence of these fundamental privacy rights means Arizona residents must rely primarily on federal protections and voluntary business practices rather than strong state-level privacy laws.
