What is the Utah Consumer Data Protection Act?
The Utah Consumer Privacy Act (UCPA) is a comprehensive privacy law that gives Utah residents greater control over how businesses collect, use, and share their personal information.
The law became effective on December 31, 2023, and establishes consumer privacy rights while requiring qualifying businesses to responsibly manage the personal data they collect and process.
Does the Utah Consumer Data Protection Act apply to my business?
The UCPA generally applies to businesses that conduct business in Utah or provide products or services to Utah residents and meet specific legal thresholds related to the processing of personal data.
Not every business is covered by the law. Whether the UCPA applies depends on factors such as your organization's annual revenue, the amount of personal data processed, and other legal requirements established by the Act.
If you're unsure whether your business is subject to the UCPA, consult qualified legal counsel.
What rights does the Utah Consumer Data Protection Act provide?
The UCPA provides Utah consumers with several important rights, including:
• The right to confirm whether a business is processing their personal data.
• The right to access personal data.
• The right to delete personal data that the consumer has provided to the business.
• The right to obtain a portable copy of personal data.
• The right to opt out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal data.
Businesses subject to the law must also provide consumers with a method for exercising these rights.

What does this mean for your website?
Every website is different.
Some organizations may only need to review their privacy policies. Others may benefit from implementing a Consent Management Platform (CMP), configuring Google Consent Mode, reviewing third-party technologies, or updating how visitor information is collected.
Understanding which privacy requirements apply depends on your business, your website, and the technologies you use.
