Ready, Set, Go: More States Adopt Privacy Laws

By: Nicole Kardell

Note the below chart was updated on July 15, 2026 to reflect recent developments.

The number of U.S. states that have adopted privacy laws grows regularly. Fortunately, there seems to be quite a bit of crossover, at least when it comes to thresholds that companies must meet in order to trigger compliance requirements. We provide below a chart that summarizes these thresholds by state, including whether non-profits are exempted from compliance (a fairly common question we are asked).

We also encourage you to review periodically the IAPPs useful tracker for state-by-state developments.
