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.
