What is the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024 (“MODPA”)?

The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act of 2024 establishes regulations for how controllers and processors handle consumers' personal data. It grants consumers specific rights regarding their data, including the ability to request its processing or opt-out, and allows them to designate agents to act on their behalf. Controllers must provide privacy notices, ensure contracts with processors, and perform data protection assessments for high-risk processing activities. Violations of the Act are considered unfair or deceptive trade practices, subject to enforcement and penalties under the Maryland Consumer Protection Act.
