Lei no estilo da Virgínia, com definições amplas de dados sensíveis e regulamentação pela Divisão de Assuntos do Consumidor.

The law in brief

The New Jersey Data Privacy Act (NJDPA) is New Jersey's comprehensive consumer privacy law. It has been in effect since 15 January 2025. Like the other state laws built on the same model, it gives New Jersey residents rights over their personal data and puts duties on the businesses that decide how that data is used (controllers) and on the vendors that handle it for them (processors).

Lei no estilo da Virgínia, com definições amplas de dados sensíveis e regulamentação pela Divisão de Assuntos do Consumidor.

New Jersey's law applies to nonprofit organizations as well as businesses and treats financial account data as sensitive.

A quem se aplica

  • Empresas que tratam dados pessoais de residentes do estado acima dos limites da lei. Os limites, as isenções e as regras sobre dados sensíveis variam por estado.
  • The thresholds usually turn on how many New Jersey residents' personal data a business handles in a year, and whether it earns revenue from selling personal data. Check the statute for the exact figures.
  • Like most state privacy laws, it exempts some organizations and data, commonly including data already covered by HIPAA or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and data about people acting in an employment or commercial capacity.

What it requires

A clear privacy notice

Publish a privacy notice describing the categories of personal data you process, why, what you share and with whom, how consumers can use their rights, and how to appeal.

Collect only what you need

Limit collection to what is adequate, relevant and reasonably necessary for the purposes you disclosed, and secure it with reasonable safeguards.

Dados sensíveis

Get the consumer's opt-in consent before processing sensitive data, such as health information, biometric or genetic data, precise geolocation, and data about a known child (for whom parental consent is needed).

Contracts with processors

Bind each processor by contract to your instructions, confidentiality, deletion or return at the end of the service, and help with audits and assessments.

Honor opt-outs

Stop targeted advertising, sales and, where covered, qualifying profiling for consumers who opt out, and check whether the law requires you to honor universal opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control.

Data protection assessments

Document an assessment before processing that presents a heightened risk, such as targeted advertising, selling personal data, processing sensitive data, and certain profiling.

Direitos das pessoas

New Jersey residents can generally ask a business to confirm and access their personal data, correct it, delete it and get a copy in a portable format, and can opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of their data, and profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond, extendable once. Residents can usually appeal a refusal.

Enforcement and penalties

Aplicada pelo Procurador-Geral de Nova Jersey (Divisão de Assuntos do Consumidor). As violações estão sujeitas a penalidades civis definidas pela lei.

What to do first

  1. Check the thresholds against your New Jersey consumer numbers and any data sales.
  2. Map the personal and sensitive data you hold about New Jersey residents.
  3. Update your privacy notice and add the opt-out routes the law requires.
  4. Set up requests and appeals within the response deadlines.
  5. Put NJDPA-ready terms in processor contracts.
  6. Build one program for all state laws, then add New Jersey's departures.
