US State Privacy Law Tracker
Overview
The United States does not have a single comprehensive federal privacy law. Instead, a patchwork of state-level comprehensive privacy statutes has emerged since the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018. As of early 2026, twenty states have enacted comprehensive consumer privacy laws, with additional states introducing legislation in each legislative session. This skill tracks the status of enacted laws, key provisions, effective dates, and substantive differences that drive multi-state compliance obligations.

Key Compliance Variables Across States
Applicability Thresholds
States differ in what triggers applicability:
- Revenue threshold: California (USD 25 million gross revenue) is the only state with a revenue trigger
- Consumer volume: Most states use 100,000 consumers; Texas uses 50,000 (if revenue derived from data sales); Montana uses 50,000 (total population consideration)
- Revenue from data sales: Most states apply if 25% or more of revenue comes from selling personal data (for businesses processing 25,000+ consumers)
