Your Rights as a New Hampshire Resident

Under the New Hampshire Data Privacy Act, residents have gained significant new rights regarding their personal information[9][6]. These rights apply when you interact with businesses that meet the law’s coverage thresholds.

• Right to know what data is collected – You can confirm whether a business is processing your personal data and access that information, though there are exceptions such as when access would reveal trade secrets[1][9]
• Right to delete personal information – You can request deletion of personal data that was provided by you or obtained about you, subject to certain limitations[9][10]
• Right to opt out of data sales – You can opt out of having your personal data sold to third parties, and businesses must recognize universal opt-out signals like Global Privacy Control[8][10]
• Right to correct inaccurate data – You can request correction of any inaccuracies in your personal information that businesses have collected[9][6]
• Right to data portability – You can obtain a copy of your personal data in a portable and readily usable format[1][10]
• Right to opt out of targeted advertising and profiling – You can opt out of processing for targeted advertising purposes or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects[1][10]
• Right to non-discrimination – Businesses cannot discriminate against you for exercising any of these privacy rights[10][7]

Businesses have 45 days to respond to your requests, with a possible 45-day extension if reasonably necessary[1][5]. If your request is denied, you have the right to appeal to the business, and ultimately can file a complaint with the New Hampshire Attorney General[10][6].
