Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act

Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act

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

Current official version

Effective status: January 1, 2026

Citation: Ind. Code Article 24-15

Source basis: Current Indiana Code, Title 24, Article 15.

Scope and applicability

The Act applies to persons conducting business in Indiana or targeting Indiana residents that meet the 100,000-consumer threshold or the 25,000-consumer threshold combined with more than 50 percent of gross revenue from sale. Entity and data exemptions are set out in the current code.

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 portable data and opt out of sale, targeted advertising and qualifying profiling. Controllers must provide an appeal process.

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 collection, secure data, limit incompatible use, obtain consent for sensitive data, publish notices, contract with processors and conduct data protection impact assessments for listed 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 code used here is IN-CDPA so it does not collide with the existing Iowa law code ICDPA in a database where both laws share the United States country row.

Enforcement and evidence

The Indiana Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority. The Act provides notice and an opportunity to cure before enforcement and does not create a private right of action.

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.
