Delaware – Personal Data Privacy Act

House Bill 154 (Chapter 197) signed by the governor September 11 and effective January 1, 2025 created a Personal Data Privacy Act to delineate a consumer’s personal data rights and provide that Delaware residents will have the right to know what information is being collected about them, see the information, correct any inaccuracies, or request deletion of their personal data that is being maintained by entities or people. The act is modeled after existing frameworks for data privacy in other states and will apply to entities that conduct business in Delaware who controlled or processed the personal data of not less than 35,000 consumers or controlled or processed the personal data of not less than 10,000 consumers and derived more than 20 percent of their gross revenue from the sale of personal data.  The bill text can be accessed here.
