Your Rights as a Nevada Resident
Nevada residents have limited privacy rights compared to residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws. The specific rights available depend on the type of information and the entity collecting it.
- Right to opt out of data sales: You can request that website operators and data brokers stop selling your personal information to third parties, which under Nevada law is defined as the exchange of information for monetary consideration
- Right to privacy notice: Website operators must provide clear information about what personal data they collect and how they use it
- Right to health data protections: For health-related information, you have broader rights including access, deletion, and correction, but only from certain regulated entities
- Right to submit requests through designated channels: Companies must provide at least one method (email, phone, or website) for you to submit opt-out requests
- Right to timely responses: Companies must respond to valid opt-out requests within 60 days, with possible 30-day extensions
Notably absent are comprehensive rights to access, delete, or correct personal information for most types of data, which are available in more robust state privacy laws[1][2].
