AG Ellison is sharing an update with Minnesota businesses and consumers about the status of the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA), including the office’s early enforcement efforts, the end of an early warning period built into the law, and steps consumers can take to guard their privacy.
“There are more reasons than ever why Minnesotans should care about and want to protect their online privacy. My office has been hard at work enforcing the Consumer Data Privacy Act, I encourage people across our state to make use of this powerful new law to protect their data and minimize their digital footprint. And remember, if you try to assert your rights under the Consumer Data Privacy Act and don’t hear back from the business in question within 45 days, file a complaint with my office.” – AG Ellison
