Oregon Consumer Privacy Act (OCPA)
OCPA covers controllers processing personal data of 100,000+ Oregonians (or 25,000+ with data-sale thresholds). Unusually, OCPA applies to nonprofit organizations, unlike most peer state laws. Consumers have deletion, access, correction, and opt-out rights. The AG enforces exclusively; no private right of action. The law requires recognition of universal opt-out mechanisms starting January 2026.

Does OCPA cover nonprofit data brokers?+
Yes. Unlike most state privacy laws (CCPA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA), OCPA applies to qualifying nonprofits. This closes a loophole where nonprofits aggregating consumer data would otherwise be exempt.
