Your Rights as a Idaho Resident

Idaho residents have very limited privacy rights under state law compared to residents of states with comprehensive privacy legislation. The following rights are available under current Idaho law:

Right to data breach notification – You must be notified if your personal information is compromised in a data breach by entities conducting business in Idaho[3][4]
Right to request investigation – Entities must conduct reasonable investigations to determine if personal information has been or will be misused following a security breach[3]
Right to consumer protection – Limited rights under the Idaho Consumer Protection Act against deceptive business practices, including some privacy-related violations[5]
Right to student data protection – Students have protections under Idaho’s Student Data Accessibility, Transparency & Accountability Act[1]

These rights are significantly more limited than comprehensive privacy rights available in other states, such as the right to know what data is collected, the right to delete personal information, or the right to opt out of data sales.
