DSAR Requirements in Nebraska (NDPA)

Nebraska DSAR requirements: consumer rights, response deadlines, identity verification, and penalties under the NDPA.

Last updated: 2026-02-08

Consumer Rights That Trigger DSARs

Nebraska consumers can submit requests to:

  • Access all personal data you hold about them
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Delete personal data you collected
  • Port their data in a portable, machine-readable format
  • Opt out of the sale of personal data
  • Opt out of targeted advertising
  • Opt out of profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects

Response Deadline

30 days from receipt — shorter than most states. You can extend by an additional 30 days if reasonably necessary — but you must notify the consumer of the extension and the reason.

Identity Verification

Required before fulfilling any request. The NDPA does not prescribe a specific verification method.

Penalties

  • $7,500 per violation
  • Permanent 30-day cure period (no sunset provision)
  • No private right of action — only the Attorney General can enforce

Enforced by the Nebraska Attorney General.

DSAR-Specific Exemptions

You may decline or limit a request when the data is needed to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Detect security incidents or protect against fraud
  • Complete a transaction the consumer requested

Sensitive data (racial/ethnic origin, religious beliefs, health data, sexual orientation, biometric data, geolocation, children's data) requires opt-in consent before processing.

Who This Applies To

No consumer count threshold — the NDPA applies to all businesses processing personal data that are not small businesses as defined by the SBA. This makes Nebraska one of the broadest state privacy laws by scope.
