Pennsylvania does not yet have a comprehensive state privacy law. The Consumer Data Privacy Act has been introduced in the legislature but has not passed. In practice, Pennsylvania residents successfully exercise deletion rights through cross-state CCPA infrastructure used by most national data brokers.

Pennsylvania Privacy Landscape

Pennsylvania's main data-related statute is the Breach of Personal Information Notification Act (2006, amended 2023), which covers breach notification but not proactive deletion rights. The AG enforces consumer protection under Pennsylvania's Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law. Practical deletion leverages brokers' CCPA-compliant workflows.

Your rights

  • Breach notification protections (73 P.S. § 2303)
  • UTPCPL consumer protection remedies
  • Practical CCPA cross-state opt-out leverage
