Your Rights as a Indiana Resident
Once the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act takes effect in 2026, Indiana residents will gain several important rights regarding how businesses collect, use, and share their personal information[1][5][10].
- Right to know what data is collected: You can request confirmation of whether a business is processing your personal data and obtain access to that information[1][5][10]
- Right to delete personal information: You can request that businesses delete personal data they have collected about you, with certain exceptions for legitimate business purposes[1][5][10]
- Right to opt out of data sales: You can opt out of the sale of your personal data, targeted advertising, and profiling that produces legally significant effects[1][5][8]
- Right to correct inaccurate data: You can request correction of inaccuracies in personal data that you previously provided to a business, though this right is more limited than in some other states[1][7][8]
- Right to non-discrimination: Businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights under the law[1][5]
- Right to data portability: You can obtain a copy or representative summary of your personal data in a portable, readily usable format[8][10]
Businesses must respond to your requests within 45 days, with a possible 45-day extension in certain circumstances[8]. Unlike some other states, Indiana’s law does not provide consumers with a private right to sue businesses for violations, meaning enforcement relies exclusively on the Indiana Attorney General[4][11][8].
