Oregon Consumer Privacy Act

Oregon Consumer Privacy Act

Oregon Consumer Privacy Act is part of the United States state privacy-law framework. It regulates covered processing of personal data about Oregon residents and must be assessed separately from federal sectoral laws and other states' statutes.

Current official version

Effective status: July 1, 2024; nonprofit coverage began July 1, 2025

Citation: Or. Rev. Stat. ss. 646A.570 through 646A.589

Source basis: Current Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 646A and identified later Oregon session laws.

Scope and applicability

The Act applies to persons conducting business in Oregon or providing products or services to Oregon residents that meet the 100,000-consumer threshold, or the 25,000-consumer threshold combined with at least 25 percent of annual gross revenue from selling personal data. Current exemptions are mainly data-level rather than blanket entity exemptions.

Thresholds must be calculated using the law's defined consumer population and lookback period. Exemptions should be recorded at entity, data and processing-activity level; an exemption covering one regulated dataset should not automatically be applied to unrelated marketing, website, workforce or customer-support data.

Consumer rights

Consumers may confirm processing, access, correct and delete personal data, obtain a portable copy, receive information about third parties and opt out of targeted advertising, sale and qualifying profiling. Current law includes universal opt-out requirements.

The operational workflow should authenticate requests without collecting excessive new data, meet the applicable response period, document extensions and denials, propagate deletion and opt-out decisions where required, and preserve evidence of the response and any appeal.

Controller and processor duties

Controllers must minimize data, limit incompatible uses, obtain consent for sensitive data, publish detailed notices, secure data, bind processors, support consent withdrawal and assess high-risk processing.

Processor agreements should identify instructions, purpose, duration, data types, confidentiality, subprocessor controls, deletion or return, audit information and assistance with rights, security, breach response and assessments to the extent required by the statute.

State-specific point

The current 2025 edition incorporates amendments and must be read with later session laws identified on the Legislature site. Nonprofits are no longer outside the Act merely because of nonprofit status.

Enforcement and evidence

The Oregon Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority. The current statute and 2025 session law govern whether a pre-suit cure notice is required.

Maintain an applicability memorandum, data map, notice versions, request and appeal logs, consent and opt-out records, processor contracts, assessment records, security evidence and a dated record of the official statutory version used. Recheck the official legislature and regulator sources before each scheduled legal review.

What this means for you

Use a shared multi-state privacy operating model, but configure it for this law's exact scope, exemptions, rights, deadlines, consent rules, opt-out signals, assessment triggers and enforcement provisions. Do not substitute a generic US privacy checklist for the state-specific controls.
