The U.S. state privacy landscape expanded in 2026 with new comprehensive data privacy laws in Indiana, Kentucky,
and Rhode Island that grant consumers rights over personal data and require opt-in consent for sensitive information.
In California, updated CCPA regulations now mandate privacy risk assessments and establish rules for automated
decision-making technology (ADMT), with compliance steps including notices, opt-out rights, and documented
safeguards. Businesses should review applicability and update privacy programs.
