MODPA questions
Maryland privacy law,
explained.
What makes Maryland’s law one of the strongest?
The MODPA includes one of the strongest data minimization requirements in the US — companies can only collect data that is ‘reasonably necessary’ to provide the service, and cannot use it for incompatible secondary purposes. This goes significantly further than most state laws.
Does Maryland ban targeted advertising to minors?
Yes. The MODPA prohibits processing the personal data of any consumer known to be under 18 for targeted advertising or sale — one of the broadest minor protections of any state.
