Welcome to Womble Bond Dickinson’s 50 state survey of affirmative data use laws. The below interactive map summarizes laws and pending legislation that impose additional requirements on businesses that collect, store, transmit, or otherwise use personal data. Please note that we have excluded industry-specific laws from the scope of this survey, so it will not, for example, include laws strictly governing financial institutions or healthcare providers.
