Michigan Privacy Landscape
The Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCL 445.901 et seq.) covers unfair and deceptive practices. Michigan's PPPA (MCL 445.1711 et seq.) provides a narrow privacy right for video, book, and music records, useful against specific broker categories. No comprehensive deletion right under state law. Deletion leverage runs through brokers' CCPA workflows.

What is Michigan's PPPA and does it help with broker removal?+
PPPA grants a private right of action for disclosure of video, book, or music purchase records. It has been used successfully against retailers selling rental/purchase history. For general data broker removal it is narrow but useful when your data comes from specific retail categories.
