On September 12, 2023, Delaware governor John Carney signed the Delaware Personal Data Privacy Act (the “DPDPA” or the “Act”) into law. The DPDPA protects the privacy rights of consumers in Delaware and regulates the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data by businesses that conduct business in or target Delaware. The DPDPA follows the model of the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, which also influenced other major state data privacy laws, like the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act.
