Your Rights as a Wyoming Resident

Due to the absence of comprehensive privacy legislation, Wyoming residents have very limited statutory rights regarding their personal data. The rights that do exist are narrow and sector-specific.

• Right to genetic data control: If you use genetic testing services, you have the right to know how your genetic data is collected, used, and shared, and to request deletion after testing is complete[6][8]
• Right to data breach notification: You must be notified if your personal information is compromised in a data breach, though this right is limited to notification rather than compensation or other remedies[9][10]
• Right to age verification privacy: If you access age-restricted websites, platforms cannot retain identifying information used for age verification after the verification is complete[7]
• Right to file consumer protection complaints: You can file complaints with the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Unit for unfair or deceptive business practices, though this is not specifically focused on data privacy[11]
• No general data rights: Unlike residents of other states, you do not have rights to know what data companies collect about you, to delete that data, to opt out of its sale, or to correct inaccuracies

The limited nature of these rights means Wyoming residents have significantly fewer privacy protections than residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws.
