Legal Compliance: Tennessee Information Protection Act ("TIPA")

The Tennessee Information Protection Act (“TIPA”) establishes operational privacy compliance requirements governing how organizations collect, use, disclose, manage, and operationalize personal data involving Tennessee residents.
The law introduces obligations involving consumer rights, targeted advertising controls, sensitive data governance, vendor oversight, operational privacy management, and affirmative defense considerations tied to privacy program implementation. The TIPA became effective July 1, 2024.
