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.

Your rights

  • Consumer Protection Act remedies
  • PPPA for narrow categories (video/book/music records)
  • Cross-state CCPA leverage

FAQ: Michigan data removal

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.
