What Is the Iowa Consumer Data Protection Act (ICDPA)?
ICDPA applies to persons conducting business in Iowa or producing products or services targeted to Iowa residents that meet either the 100,000-consumer branch or the 25,000-consumer-plus-more-than-50%-sale-revenue branch, subject to statutory exemptions. Rights include access, deletion of personal data provided by the consumer, portability, and sale opt-out; the cited chapter does not list a correction or profiling opt-out right and does not require a universal opt-out mechanism. Controllers generally have 90 days to respond, with a possible 45-day extension. The AG has exclusive enforcement authority and a separate 90-day written notice-and-cure process.

Who ICDPA applies to
A business is covered if it meets the applicability thresholds set out in Iowa Code § 715D.1 et seq.. The thresholds listed below are the research record for this law. Whether one or more applies depends on the current statute, its exceptions, and the business's facts; do not assume a universal threshold structure.
- Conducts business in Iowa or produces products or services targeted to Iowa residents and, during a calendar year, controls or processes personal data of at least 100,000 consumers
- Conducts business in Iowa or produces products or services targeted to Iowa residents and, during a calendar year, controls or processes personal data of at least 25,000 consumers and derives more than 50% of gross revenue from the sale of personal data
Consumer rights under ICDPA

No correction right listed in §715D.3
No profiling opt-out listed in §715D.3

Notable features (vs. CCPA)
ICDPA provides access, deletion of personal data provided by the consumer, portability, and sale opt-out rights. Section 715D.3 does not list a correction or profiling opt-out right, and Chapter 715D does not require a universal opt-out mechanism. Controllers generally have 90 days to respond to a consumer request, subject to a possible 45-day extension, and the Attorney General has a separate 90-day enforcement notice-and-cure process.
Enforcement and penalty reference
Enforcing agency: Iowa Attorney General. Consumer Protection Division
Penalty reference: Up to $7,500 per violation under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act
Cure period: Before initiating an enforcement action, the Attorney General must give a controller or processor 90 days' written notice identifying the alleged violations. If the noticed violation is cured and the controller or processor provides an express written statement that the violations are cured and will not recur, the Attorney General may not initiate the action; this is separate from the consumer-response period.
Private right of action: ICDPA has no private right of action. Enforcement is exclusive to the Iowa Attorney General. Consumer Protection Division.
Where to file a complaint: Iowa Attorney General. Consumer Protection Division
How to exercise your ICDPA rights
- 1
Identify the business that holds your data. OfflistMe can help you review a provider route across 1,034 US/global data brokers in the 1,052-record research universe; it does not decide whether a law applies to a specific request.
- 2
Submit a verifiable consumer request. Submit a request to the business's designated contact using the provider's current verification instructions. Include only the information reasonably needed to match your record and check the applicable Iowa residency, scope, exemption, and verification rules before sending.
- 3
Track the applicable response window. This research snapshot records a 90-day reference window for the modeled request. Confirm the current statute, request type, controller scope, extension rule, and verification date before treating it as a deadline.
- 4
Escalate if denied or ignored. If the provider does not respond or disputes the request, preserve the request and response record, review the applicable exceptions, and consider the Iowa Attorney General. Consumer Protection Division complaint route at https://www.iowaattorneygeneral.gov/for-consumers/file-a-consumer-complaint. A complaint route does not itself guarantee deletion or a particular enforcement result.

FAQ
How does Iowa's ICDPA differ from some state laws?+
The ICDPA has a defined set of access, deletion, portability, and opt-out rights, along with its own response and enforcement rules. Compare the current statute and controller notice before assuming that a correction, profiling, cure, or deletion rule from another state applies in Iowa.
What can I delete under Iowa's ICDPA?+
The recorded ICDPA right is to delete personal data provided by the consumer; the same list includes access, portability, and opt-out of sale. The page also notes that the cited chapter does not list a correction or profiling opt-out right.
