Your Rights as a Kentucky Resident

Starting January 1, 2026, the Kentucky Consumer Data Protection Act will grant Kentucky residents comprehensive rights over their personal information. These rights apply to businesses that meet specific thresholds for data processing and provide meaningful control over how your personal data is collected, used, and shared.

• Right to know what data is collected: You can confirm whether a business is processing your personal data and access that information, unless revealing it would expose trade secrets[2][9][13][14]
• Right to delete personal information: You can request deletion of personal data provided by you or obtained about you, regardless of how the business acquired it[2][9][13][14]
• Right to opt out of data sales: You can opt out of having your personal data sold to third parties, as well as opt out of targeted advertising and certain types of automated profiling that produce legally significant effects[2][9][13][14]
• Right to correct inaccurate data: You can request that businesses correct any inaccuracies in your personal information that they maintain[2][9][13][14]
• Right to data portability: You can obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable, readily usable format that allows you to transmit it to another business without hindrance[2][9][13][14]
• Right to non-discrimination: Businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising any of these privacy rights[2][13]

Businesses must respond to your requests within 45 days, which may be extended by another 45 days for complex requests[13][14].
