Your Rights as a Delaware Resident

The Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act grants you comprehensive rights over your personal information. These rights are designed to give you control over how businesses collect, use, and share your data[9][10].

• Right to know what data is collected: You can confirm whether a business is processing your personal data and access that information, unless it would reveal trade secrets[9][10][11]
• Right to delete personal information: You can request that businesses delete personal data they have collected about you, whether obtained directly from you or from other sources[9][10][11]
• Right to opt out of data sales: You can decline having your personal information sold to third parties, used for targeted advertising, or used for certain types of automated decision-making and profiling[9][5][10]
• Right to correct inaccurate data: You can request businesses to fix any errors or inaccuracies in the personal information they maintain about you[9][10][11]
• Right to data portability: You can obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and readily usable format[9][5][11]
• Right to know about data sharing: You can request a list of categories of third parties with whom your personal data has been shared[9][5][12]
• Right to non-discrimination: Businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising any of these privacy rights[9][10][13]

Special protections exist for minors under 18, requiring parental consent for children under 13 and direct consent for teens aged 13-17 before their data can be sold or used for targeted advertising[5][3][6][13].
