Your Rights as a Utah Resident

Under the Utah Consumer Privacy Act, Utah residents have specific rights regarding how businesses collect, use, and share their personal information. These rights apply to covered businesses that meet the law’s threshold requirements.

• 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[3][8][11]. Businesses must respond to these requests within 45 days.
• Right to delete personal information: You can request deletion of personal data that you provided directly to the business[3][8][4]. Note that this right is more limited than in some other states, covering only data you provided rather than all data the business holds about you.
• Right to opt out of data sales: Businesses must provide a clear way for you to opt out of the sale of your personal data to third parties and the use of your data for targeted advertising[3][8][11].
• Right to correct inaccurate data: As of March 2025, Utah law includes the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information[7]. This was a recent addition that brings Utah in line with most other state privacy laws.
• Right to non-discrimination: Businesses cannot charge you different prices, provide different service levels, or deny services because you exercise your privacy rights[8][4]. However, businesses may offer different prices if you opt out of certain data uses, provided this is clearly disclosed.

These rights are enforceable through complaints to the Utah Division of Consumer Protection, which investigates violations and refers cases to the Attorney General’s office for potential enforcement action[3][8][11].
