Your Nebraska consumer data rights
In effect
The Nebraska Data Privacy Act gives Nebraska residents rights over the personal data that covered businesses collect about them. It has been in effect since January 1, 2025.
- Who or what it protects
- Nebraska residents acting as individuals or households, not in a business or job context. It applies to businesses in Nebraska, or whose products or services Nebraskans use, that process or sell personal data and are not small businesses under the federal Small Business Act; a small business still needs your consent to sell sensitive data.
- What you can do
- You can confirm whether a business processes your personal data and see it, correct it, delete data you provided or that it obtained about you, and get a copy of the data you gave it in a digital form you can take elsewhere. You can opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of your data, and profiling used for decisions with legal or similarly significant effects. Use the method in the company's privacy notice. It must respond within 45 days, which it can extend once by 45 days, and you get two free responses a year. If it declines, you can appeal; it has 60 days to answer, and if it denies the appeal it must give you an online way to contact the Attorney General. The Attorney General asks you to make your request and appeal to the company first, then use its Data Privacy Complaint Form.
- Limits and eligibility
- There is no private right to sue under this law. The Nebraska Attorney General enforces it, after giving a business 30 days to fix a violation.
- Who oversees it
- Nebraska Attorney General
