Delaware enacts automated decision opt-out right and broadens data privacy law’s reach
Delaware has updated its data privacy law to give residents the right to opt out of automated decision-making and to expand the law's scope to cover more businesses and data uses.
Why this matters: Automated decisions shape real outcomes — whether you get a loan, a job interview, or flagged as a risk. Most people have no idea those systems are running on their data, let alone a way to push back. Delaware giving residents an opt-out right is a direct check on that. It also broadens who the law covers, which closes some of the gaps companies have used to stay out of reach. Whether the opt-out is easy to use in practice is the part worth watching.
