Maine Privacy Landscape
Maine's ISP Privacy Act (35-A MRS § 9301) addresses consent for specified ISP uses of customer personal information and does not itself create a general deletion right against non-ISP data brokers. Maine's broader consumer-protection remedies run through the Unfair Trade Practices Act (5 MRS § 205-A). Check current legislative status before describing any proposed comprehensive privacy bill as operative.

What is unique about Maine's ISP privacy law?+
Maine's ISP law addresses consent for specified uses of customer data. Its scope is limited to the ISP layer; review the current text and provider policy rather than assume that it creates a general data-broker deletion right or that every other state follows the same rule.
