State privacy laws in the U.S. 2023, by consumer rights covered

As of July 2023, 10 states in the U.S. had state-level privacy laws signed. While the core content was mainly similar in these regulations, they differed in covering certain consumer rights. All signed laws protect the right of a consumer to access personal information collected by companies and shared with third parties. The first state-level privacy law proposed in California in 2018 had gaps, as it did not reference the consumer's right to request a correction of incorrect or outdated personal information and other rights. However, the second privacy law developed afterward in California, the California Privacy Rights Act, was more comprehensive. Other consumer rights, such as the consumer's right to opt out of specific processing and the right to opt in for sensitive data processing, were rarely protected, too. Only two laws covered the consumer's right of private action, with certain limitations.
