Legal Compliance: Maryland Online Data Privacy Act ("MODPA")

Understand Maryland Privacy Requirements.
The Maryland Online Data Privacy Act (“MODPA”) establishes consumer privacy rights and compliance requirements for covered organizations involving personal data, consumer rights, privacy notices, targeted advertising, sensitive data, data minimization, and other privacy practices.
The MODPA became effective October 1, 2025. Maryland’s law includes notable requirements involving data minimization and sensitive data, making it important for covered organizations to evaluate not only how personal data is used, but also whether the collection and processing of that data is permitted under the law.
