Nebraska Data Removal Guide (2026)
Nebraska's Data Privacy Act took effect January 2025. The NBDPA uses a non-small-business and processing-or-sale test rather than consumer-count thresholds, so a provider's product or service connection, status, and exemptions need to be checked directly.

Nebraska Data Privacy Act (NBDPA)
NBDPA applies to a person doing business in Nebraska or producing a product or service consumed by Nebraska residents that processes or sells personal data and is not a small business under the federal Small Business Act, subject to statutory exclusions. Small businesses remain subject to the separate sensitive-data sale-consent rule. Rights include access, correction, deletion, portability, and opt-outs from targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling. Controllers generally have 45 days to respond, with a possible 45-day extension, and appeals are decided within 60 days. The Attorney General has exclusive enforcement authority, with a 30-day written notice-and-cure process and civil penalties up to $7,500 per violation; there is no private right of action.

How does Nebraska's NBDPA scope work?+
The NBDPA does not use a consumer-count threshold. It generally applies when a person does business in Nebraska or produces a product or service consumed by Nebraska residents, processes or sells personal data, and is not a small business under the statutory federal definition, subject to exclusions. A small business still may not sell sensitive data without prior consumer consent under § 87-1118.
How long does Nebraska allow for an appeal decision?+
The NBDPA summary records a general 45-day response period, with a possible 45-day extension, and says appeals are decided within 60 days.
