Ensure TDPSA compliance while maintaining transparency and user trust. Document data collection, storage, and processing, and implement a robust Consent Management Platform (CMP) to leverage privacy-compliant practices as a competitive advantage.
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) defines how businesses must collect, process, and use personal information of Texas consumers, aiming to safeguard their privacy and security.
Under section 541.002 of the TDPSA, your organization is required to comply if it meets any of the following criteria:
The TDPSA became effective on July 1, 2024, with specific provisions for universal consumer opt-out mechanisms taking effect on January 1, 2025.
Conducting business in Texas or providing goods or services to residents of the state.
Processing or selling personal data.
Businesses not classified as “small” under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) definition (fewer than 500 employees) must comply, unless they do not sell sensitive personal information.
The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) grants consumers key rights to ensure transparency, control, and protection of their personal information:
Consumers can verify whether a company is processing their personal data and access details about its use and handling.
Individuals may request access to their stored personal data to confirm its completeness and accuracy.
Consumers can request the correction of inaccurate or outdated data, and request deletion unless legal retention obligations apply.
Consumers can prohibit the sale of their personal data, refuse targeted advertising, and object to significant decisions based on automated profiling.
Ensure your privacy policy is clear, concise, and easily understandable, providing consumers with transparent information about how their personal data is collected, processed, and used.
Secure explicit consent from data subjects before processing sensitive data or engaging in high-risk profiling activities.
