Frequently Asked Questions

In an ever-evolving data privacy landscape in the United States, Iowa has become the sixth state to adopt a comprehensive data privacy law which is similar to state privacy laws in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia.

An entity conducting business in Iowa or producing products or services targeted to Iowa residents shall be subject to the law if it meets the following requirements during a calendar year:

  • Controls or processes the personal data of over 100,000 Iowa residents; or
  • Controls or processes the personal data of over 25,000 Iowa residents and derives over 50% of its gross revenue from the sale of personal data.

The law provides legal consumer rights and can be exercised by sending a data controller an authenticated request or a data subject request (DSR). The law provides the right to access, the right to delete, the right to data portability, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal data.
