Your Data, Your Rules: Indiana’s Privacy Law Is Coming Online

In just a few months, Indiana’s new privacy law will reshape how businesses handle personal information. Starting January 1, 2026, the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act will give residents new rights over their digital lives. You’ll have the power to access, correct, delete, or limit the sale and use of your personal data. This mirrors what other states like Iowa, Delaware, and New Jersey have already implemented, signaling a nationwide shift toward stronger consumer privacy.

For most Hoosiers, the law will quietly change the way companies collect and share data behind the scenes. You may start noticing new privacy notices or easier “opt out” buttons on websites. For small businesses, though, the impact is immediate and operational. Any company that meets the data-processing thresholds will need to track what they collect, where it’s stored, and how to honor consumer requests efficiently. It’s a new layer of accountability that rewards preparation over reaction.
