• Nebraska Data Privacy Act: Grants consumers rights similar to other laws, focusing on dark patterns to trick users.
• New Hampshire Privacy Law: Grants rights of access, correction, deletion, and movement of data, with no revenue threshold.
• New Jersey's Senate Bill 332: Includes nonprofits, treats financial account information as sensitive data, and broadens the definition of biometric data.

Importance of Understanding These Changes

Adapting your business practices to meet these ever-changing regulations will position you for success in 2025 and beyond. Understanding the nuances of each state's laws is essential for compliance.
