Your Rights as a Nebraska Resident

Under the Nebraska Data Privacy Act, you have several important rights regarding how your personal information is collected, used, and shared by businesses.

• Right to know what data is collected: You can confirm whether a business is processing your personal data and request access to see what specific information they have about you[8][5][4]
• Right to delete personal information: You can request that businesses delete personal data they have collected about you, whether you provided it directly or they obtained it from other sources[8][5][4]
• Right to opt out of data sales: You can prevent businesses from selling your personal information to third parties, and they must respect universal opt-out mechanisms like Global Privacy Control[9][5][7]
• Right to correct inaccurate data: You can request that businesses fix any errors or inaccuracies in your personal information, taking into account the nature of the data and how it’s being used[8][5][4]
• Right to data portability: You can obtain a copy of your personal data in a usable format that allows you to transfer it to another business[8][5][4]
• Right to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling: You can prevent your data from being used for targeted advertising or automated profiling that could significantly affect you[8][5][4]
• Right to non-discrimination: Businesses cannot treat you differently or deny you services simply because you exercise your privacy rights[7]

Businesses must respond to your requests within 45 days and provide you with an appeals process if they deny your request[3][4]. If you’re not satisfied with their response, you can file a complaint with the Nebraska Attorney General[6][7].
