Since 2018, 18 states have passed their own data privacy laws, with Maryland enacting its own which has even stricter regulations regarding sensitive data than California's.
The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (MODPA), effective October 1, 2025, aims to enhance privacy protections, particularly around sensitive personal data and its treatment.
State privacy laws exhibit considerable overlap in defining 'sale' of personal data, but significant differences exist, notably with MODPA's stringent provisions on sensitive information.
Privacy lawyers are struggling to keep track of the myriad of privacy laws across states, indicating the complexity and difficulty in navigating these regulations.
