364+39 forth in subsection (b) by submitting to a controller a request
365+40 specifying the rights the consumer wishes to invoke. A known
366+41 child's parent or legal guardian may invoke on behalf of the child
367+42 one (1) or more rights set forth in subsection (b) with respect to the
368+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 9
369+1 processing of personal data belonging to the known child by
370+2 submitting to a controller a request specifying the rights the
371+3 consumer wishes to invoke on behalf of the child. Except as
372+4 provided in IC 24-15-7-1(c) and IC 24-15-7-2, and subject to any
373+5 limitations or conditions set forth in subsections (b) and (c), a
374+6 controller shall comply with an authenticated consumer request to
375+7 exercise a right set forth in subsection (b).
376+8 (b) A consumer has the following rights:
377+9 (1) To confirm whether or not a controller is processing the
378+10 consumer's personal data and, subject to the limitations set
379+11 forth in subdivision (4), to access such personal data.
380+12 (2) To correct inaccuracies in the consumer's personal data
381+13 that the consumer previously provided to a controller, taking
382+14 into account the nature of the personal data and the purposes
383+15 of the processing of the consumer's personal data. Upon
384+16 receiving a request from a consumer under this subdivision,
385+17 a controller shall correct inaccurate information as requested
386+18 by the consumer, taking into account the nature of the
387+19 personal data and the purposes of the processing of the
388+20 consumer's personal data.
389+21 (3) To delete personal data provided by or obtained about the
390+22 consumer.
391+23 (4) To obtain either:
392+24 (A) a copy of; or
393+25 (B) a representative summary of;
394+26 the consumer's personal data that the consumer previously
395+27 provided to the controller. Information provided to a
396+28 consumer under this subdivision must be in a portable and, to
397+29 the extent technically practicable, readily usable format that
398+30 allows the consumer to transmit the data or summary to
399+31 another controller without hindrance, in any case in which the
400+32 processing is carried out by automated means. The controller
401+33 has the discretion to send either a copy or a representative
402+34 summary of the consumer's personal data under this
403+35 subdivision, taking into account the nature of the personal
404+36 data and the purposes of the processing of the consumer's
405+37 personal data. A controller is not required to provide a copy
406+38 or a representative summary of a consumer's personal data
407+39 to the same consumer under this subdivision more than one
408+40 (1) time in a twelve (12) month period.
409+41 (5) To opt out of the processing of the consumer's personal
410+42 data for purposes of:
411+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 10
412+1 (A) targeted advertising;
413+2 (B) the sale of personal data; or
414+3 (C) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal
415+4 or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.
416+5 (c) Except as otherwise provided in this article, a controller shall
417+6 comply with a request by a consumer to exercise a consumer right
418+7 set forth in subsection (b) as follows:
419+8 (1) A controller shall respond to the consumer without undue
420+9 delay, but in any case not later than forty-five (45) days after
421+10 receipt of the consumer's request under this section. The
422+11 response period prescribed by this subdivision may be
423+12 extended once by an additional forty-five (45) days when
424+13 reasonably necessary, taking into account the complexity and
425+14 number of the consumer's requests, as long as the controller
426+15 informs the consumer of any such extension within the initial
427+16 forty-five (45) day response period, along with the reason for
428+17 the extension.
429+18 (2) If a controller declines to take action regarding the
430+19 consumer's request, the controller shall inform the consumer
431+20 without undue delay, but in any case not later than forty-five
432+21 (45) days after receipt of the consumer's request under this
433+22 section, of the justification for declining to take action, and
434+23 shall provide instructions for how to appeal the decision
435+24 under subsection (d).
436+25 (3) Information provided in response to a consumer request
437+26 shall be provided by a controller free of charge, up to one (1)
438+27 time annually per consumer. If requests from a consumer are
439+28 manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, the controller
440+29 may charge the consumer a reasonable fee to cover the
441+30 administrative costs of complying with the request or decline
442+31 to act on the request. The controller bears the burden of
443+32 demonstrating the manifestly unfounded, excessive, or
444+33 repetitive nature of the request.
445+34 (4) If a controller is unable to authenticate the request using
446+35 commercially reasonable efforts, the controller shall not be
447+36 required to comply with a request to initiate an action under
448+37 this section and may request that the consumer provide
449+38 additional information reasonably necessary to authenticate
450+39 the consumer and the consumer's request.
451+40 (d) A controller shall establish a process for a consumer to
452+41 appeal, within a reasonable period of time after the consumer's
453+42 receipt of a decision by the controller under subsection (c)(2), the
454+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 11
455+1 controller's refusal to take action on a request by the consumer
456+2 under this section. The appeal process shall be conspicuously
457+3 available and similar to the process for submitting requests to
458+4 invoke a right under this section. Not later than sixty (60) days
459+5 after receipt of an appeal, a controller shall inform the consumer
460+6 in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the
461+7 appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the
462+8 decisions. If the appeal is denied, the controller shall also provide
463+9 the consumer with an online mechanism, if available, or other
464+10 method through which the consumer may contact the attorney
465+11 general to submit a complaint.
466+12 Chapter 4. Data Controller Responsibilities; Transparency
467+13 Sec. 1. Except as provided in IC 24-15-7-2, a controller has the
468+14 following responsibilities:
469+15 (1) A controller shall limit the collection of personal data to
470+16 what is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary in
471+17 relation to the purposes for which such data is processed, as
472+18 disclosed to the consumer.
473+19 (2) Except as otherwise provided in this article, a controller
474+20 shall not process personal data for purposes that are neither
475+21 reasonably necessary to nor compatible with the disclosed
476+22 purposes for which the personal data is processed, unless the
477+23 controller obtains the consumer's consent.
478+24 (3) A controller shall establish, implement, and maintain
479+25 reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data
480+26 security practices to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and
481+27 accessibility of personal data. The data security practices
482+28 required under this subdivision must be appropriate to the
483+29 volume and nature of the personal data at issue.
484+30 (4) A controller shall not process personal data in violation of
485+31 state and federal laws that prohibit unlawful discrimination
486+32 against consumers. A controller shall not discriminate against
487+33 a consumer for exercising any of the consumer rights set forth
488+34 in this article, including by denying goods or services to the
489+35 consumer, charging different prices or rates for goods and
490+36 services, or providing a different level or quality of goods or
491+37 services to the consumer. However, nothing in this subdivision
492+38 shall be construed to:
493+39 (A) require a controller to provide a product or service
494+40 that requires the personal data of a consumer that the
495+41 controller does not collect or maintain; or
496+42 (B) prohibit a controller from offering a different price,
497+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 12
498+1 rate, level, quality, or selection of goods or services to a
499+2 consumer, including offering goods or services for no fee,
500+3 if the consumer has exercised the consumer's right to opt
501+4 out under IC 24-15-3-1(b)(5) or if the offer is related to a
502+5 consumer's voluntary participation in a bona fide loyalty,
503+6 rewards, premium features, discount, or club card
504+7 program.
505+8 (5) A controller shall not process sensitive data concerning a
506+9 consumer without obtaining the consumer's consent, or, in the
507+10 case of the processing of sensitive data concerning a known
508+11 child, without processing such data in accordance with the
509+12 federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C.
510+13 6501 et seq.).
511+14 Sec. 2. Any provision of a contract or agreement of any kind
512+15 that purports to waive or limit in any way a consumer's rights
513+16 under IC 24-15-3 is contrary to public policy and is void and
514+17 unenforceable.
515+18 Sec. 3. A controller shall provide consumers with a reasonably
516+19 accessible, clear, and meaningful privacy notice that includes:
517+20 (1) the categories of personal data processed by the controller;
518+21 (2) the purpose for processing personal data;
519+22 (3) how consumers may exercise their consumer rights under
520+23 IC 24-15-3, including how a consumer may appeal a
521+24 controller's decision with regard to the consumer's request;
522+25 (4) the categories of personal data that the controller shares
523+26 with third parties, if any; and
524+27 (5) the categories of third parties, if any, with whom the
525+28 controller shares personal data.
526+29 Sec. 4. If a controller sells a consumer's personal data to third
527+30 parties or uses a consumer's personal data for targeted advertising,
528+31 the controller shall clearly and conspicuously disclose such activity,
529+32 as well as the manner in which a consumer may exercise the right
530+33 to opt out of such sales or use.
531+34 Sec. 5. A controller shall establish, and shall describe in a
532+35 privacy notice provided under section 3 of this chapter, one (1) or
533+36 more secure and reliable means for consumers to submit a request
534+37 to exercise their rights under IC 24-15-3. Such means must take
535+38 into account:
536+39 (1) the ways in which consumers normally interact with the
537+40 controller;
538+41 (2) the need for the secure and reliable communication of such
539+42 requests; and
540+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 13
541+1 (3) the ability of the controller to authenticate the identity of
542+2 the consumer making the request.
543+3 A controller may not require a consumer to create a new account
544+4 in order to exercise the consumer's rights under IC 24-15-3 but
545+5 may require a consumer to use an existing account.
546+6 Chapter 5. Responsibility According to Role; Controllers and
547+7 Processors
548+8 Sec. 1. A processor shall adhere to the instructions of a
549+9 controller and shall assist the controller in meeting its obligations
550+10 under this chapter. Such assistance shall include the following:
551+11 (1) Fulfilling the controller's obligation to respond to
552+12 consumer requests under IC 24-15-3 by appropriate technical
553+13 and organizational measures, insofar as this is reasonably
554+14 practicable, and taking into account the nature of processing
555+15 and the information available to the processor.
556+16 (2) Taking into account the nature of processing and the
557+17 information available to the processor, assisting the controller
558+18 in meeting the controller's obligations in relation to:
559+19 (A) the security of processing the personal data; and
560+20 (B) the notification of a breach of security of the system of
561+21 the processor under IC 24-4.9;
562+22 in order to meet the controller's obligations.
563+23 (3) Providing necessary information to enable the controller
564+24 to conduct and document data protection assessments under
565+25 IC 24-15-6.
566+26 Sec. 2. (a) A contract between a controller and a processor shall
567+27 govern the processor's data processing procedures with respect to
568+28 processing performed on behalf of the controller. The contract
569+29 must be binding and clearly set forth instructions for processing
570+30 personal data, the nature and purpose of processing, the type of
571+31 data subject to processing, the duration of processing, and the
572+32 rights and obligations of both parties. The contract must also
573+33 include requirements that the processor do the following:
574+34 (1) Ensure that each individual processing personal data is
575+35 subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect to the data.
576+36 (2) At the controller's direction, delete or return all personal
577+37 data to the controller as requested at the end of the provision
578+38 of services, unless retention of the personal data is required by
579+39 law.
580+40 (3) Upon the reasonable request of the controller, make
581+41 available to the controller all information in its possession
582+42 necessary to demonstrate the processor's compliance with the
583+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 14
584+1 obligations in this chapter.
585+2 (4) Allow, and cooperate with, reasonable assessments by the
586+3 controller or the controller's designated assessor.
587+4 Alternatively, the processor may arrange for a qualified and
588+5 independent assessor to conduct an assessment of the
589+6 processor's policies and technical and organizational
590+7 measures in support of the processor's obligations under this
591+8 chapter using an appropriate and accepted control standard
592+9 or framework and assessment procedure for such
593+10 assessments. The processor shall provide a report of any such
594+11 assessment to the controller upon request.
595+12 (5) Subject to subsection (b), engage any subcontractor
596+13 pursuant to a written contract that requires the subcontractor
597+14 to meet the obligations of the processor with respect to the
598+15 personal data.
599+16 (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve a
600+17 controller or a processor from the liabilities imposed on the
601+18 controller or processor by virtue of its role in the processing
602+19 relationship.
603+20 Sec. 3. Determining whether a person is acting as a controller or
604+21 a processor with respect to a specific processing of data is a fact
605+22 based determination that depends upon the context in which
606+23 personal data is processed. A processor that continues to adhere to
607+24 a controller's instructions with respect to a specific processing of
608+25 personal data remains a processor.
609+26 Chapter 6. Data Protection Assessments
610+27 Sec. 1. (a) The data protection assessment requirements set
611+28 forth in this chapter apply to processing activities created or
612+29 generated after December 31, 2024, and are not retroactive to any
613+30 processing activities created or generated before January 1, 2025.
614+31 (b) A controller shall conduct and document a data protection
615+32 assessment of each of the following processing activities involving
616+33 personal data:
617+34 (1) The processing of personal data for purposes of targeted
618+35 advertising.
619+36 (2) The sale of personal data.
620+37 (3) The processing of personal data for purposes of profiling,
621+38 if such profiling presents a reasonably foreseeable risk of:
622+39 (A) unfair or deceptive treatment of, or unlawful disparate
623+40 impact on, consumers;
624+41 (B) financial, physical, or reputational injury to
625+42 consumers;
626+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 15
627+1 (C) a physical or other intrusion upon the solitude or
628+2 seclusion, or the private affairs or concerns, of consumers,
629+3 if such intrusion would be offensive to a reasonable person;
630+4 or
631+5 (D) other substantial injury to consumers.
632+6 (4) The processing of sensitive data.
633+7 (5) Any processing activities involving personal data that
634+8 present a heightened risk of harm to consumers.
635+9 (c) Data protection assessments conducted under this chapter
636+10 shall identify and weigh the benefits that may flow, directly and
637+11 indirectly, from the processing to the controller, the consumer,
638+12 other stakeholders, and the public against the potential risks to the
639+13 rights of the consumer associated with such processing, as
640+14 mitigated by safeguards that can be employed by the controller to
641+15 reduce such risks. The use of de-identified data and the reasonable
642+16 expectations of consumers, as well as the context of the processing
643+17 and the relationship between the controller and the consumer
644+18 whose personal data will be processed, shall be factored into this
645+19 assessment by the controller.
646+20 (d) A single data protection assessment may address a
647+21 comparable set of processing operations that include similar
648+22 activities.
649+23 (e) A data protection assessment conducted by a controller for
650+24 the purpose of compliance with other laws or regulations may be
651+25 used to comply with this section if the assessment has a reasonably
652+26 comparable scope and effect to an assessment conducted under this
653+27 section.
654+28 Sec. 2. (a) The attorney general may request, pursuant to a civil
655+29 investigative demand, that a controller disclose any data protection
656+30 assessment that is relevant to an investigation conducted by the
657+31 attorney general. Upon receipt of such a request, the controller
658+32 shall make the data protection assessment available to the attorney
659+33 general. Subject to subsection (b), the attorney general may
660+34 evaluate the data protection assessment for a controller's
661+35 compliance with the responsibilities set forth in IC 24-15-4.
662+36 (b) Data protection assessments are confidential and exempt
663+37 from public inspection and copying under IC 5-14-3-4. The
664+38 disclosure of a data protection assessment pursuant to a request
665+39 from the attorney general does not constitute a waiver of
666+40 attorney-client privilege or work product protection with respect
667+41 to the assessment and any information contained in the assessment.

670+1 Data; Exemptions
671+2 Sec. 1. (a) A controller in possession of de-identified data shall:
672+3 (1) take reasonable measures to ensure that the data cannot
673+4 be associated with an individual;
674+5 (2) publicly commit to maintaining and using de-identified
675+6 data without attempting to re-identify the data; and
676+7 (3) contractually obligate any recipients of the de-identified
677+8 data to comply with all provisions of this chapter.
678+9 (b) This chapter shall not be construed to require a controller
679+10 or processor to:
680+11 (1) re-identify de-identified data or pseudonymous data;
681+12 (2) maintain data in identifiable form; or
682+13 (3) collect, obtain, retain, or access any data or technology, in
683+14 order to be capable of associating an authenticated consumer
684+15 request with personal data.
685+16 (c) This chapter shall not be construed to require a controller or
686+17 processor to comply with a request of a consumer under IC 24-15-3
687+18 if all of the following conditions are met:
688+19 (1) The controller is not reasonably capable of associating the
689+20 request with the personal data or it would be unreasonably
690+21 burdensome for the controller to associate the request with
691+22 the personal data.
692+23 (2) The controller does not use the personal data to recognize
693+24 or respond to the specific consumer who is the subject of the
694+25 personal data, or associate the personal data with other
695+26 personal data about the same specific consumer.
696+27 (3) The controller does not sell the personal data to any third
697+28 party or otherwise voluntarily disclose the personal data to
698+29 any third party other than a processor.
699+30 Sec. 2. The:
700+31 (1) rights of a consumer set forth in IC 24-15-3-1(b)(1)
701+32 through IC 24-15-3-1(b)(4); and
702+33 (2) responsibilities of a controller under IC 24-15-4-1(1)
703+34 through IC 24-15-4-1(4);
704+35 do not apply to pseudonymous data in any case in which the
705+36 controller is able to demonstrate that any information necessary to
706+37 identify the consumer is kept separately and is subject to effective
707+38 technical and organizational controls that prevent the controller
708+39 from accessing such information.
709+40 Sec. 3. A controller that discloses pseudonymous data or
710+41 de-identified data shall exercise reasonable oversight to monitor
711+42 compliance with any contractual commitments to which the
712+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 17
713+1 pseudonymous data or de-identified data is subject and shall take
714+2 appropriate steps to address any breaches of those contractual
715+3 commitments.
716+4 Chapter 8. Limitations
717+5 Sec. 1. (a) This article shall not be construed to restrict a
718+6 controller's or processor's ability to do any of the following:
719+7 (1) Comply with federal, state, or local laws, rules, or
720+8 regulations.
721+9 (2) Comply with a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry,
722+10 investigation, subpoena, or summons by a federal, state, local,
723+11 or other governmental authority.
724+12 (3) Cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning
725+13 conduct or activity that the controller or processor reasonably
726+14 and in good faith believes may violate federal, state, or local

734+22 or parent before entering into a contract.
735+23 (6) Take immediate steps to protect an interest that is
736+24 essential for the life or physical safety of the consumer or of
737+25 another individual, if the processing cannot be manifestly
738+26 based on another legal basis.
739+27 (7) Prevent, detect, protect against, or respond to security
740+28 incidents, identity theft, fraud, harassment, malicious or
741+29 deceptive activities, or any illegal activity, to preserve the
742+30 integrity or security of systems, or to investigate, report, or
743+31 prosecute those responsible for any such action.
744+32 (8) Engage in public or peer reviewed scientific or statistical
745+33 research that is in the public interest and that adheres to all
746+34 applicable ethics and privacy laws and is approved,
747+35 monitored, and governed by an institutional review board, or
748+36 a similar independent oversight entity, that determines if:
749+37 (A) the information is likely to provide substantial benefits
750+38 that do not exclusively accrue to the controller;
751+39 (B) the expected benefits of the research outweigh the
752+40 privacy risks; and
753+41 (C) the controller has implemented reasonable safeguards
754+42 to mitigate privacy risks associated with research,
755+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 18
756+1 including any risks associated with re-identification.
757+2 (9) Assist another controller, processor, or third party with
758+3 any obligation described in this section.
759+4 (b) Processing personal data for a purposes expressly identified
760+5 in subsection (a)(1) through (a)(9) does not by itself make a person
761+6 a controller with respect to such processing.
762+7 Sec. 2. The obligations imposed on a controller or a processor
763+8 under this article do not restrict a controller's or processor's
764+9 ability to collect, use, or retain data to do the following:
765+10 (1) Conduct internal research to develop, improve, or repair
766+11 products, services, or technology.

768+13 (3) Identify and repair technical errors that impair existing or
769+14 intended functionality.

772+17 consumer;
773+18 (B) reasonably anticipated based on the consumer's
774+19 existing relationship with the controller; or
775+20 (C) otherwise compatible with:
776+21 (i) processing data in furtherance of the provision of a
777+22 product or service specifically requested by a consumer,
778+23 or the parent of a child; or
779+24 (ii) the performance of a contract to which the consumer
780+25 is a party.
781+26 Sec. 3. The obligations imposed on a controller or a processor
782+27 under this article do not apply if compliance by the controller or
783+28 processor with this article would violate an evidentiary privilege
784+29 under Indiana law. This article shall not be construed to prevent
785+30 a controller or processor from providing, as part of a privileged
786+31 communication, personal data concerning a consumer to a person
787+32 covered by an evidentiary privilege under Indiana law.
788+33 Sec. 4. A controller or processor that discloses personal data to
789+34 a third party controller or processor in compliance with this article
790+35 is not in violation of this article if the third party controller or
791+36 processor that receives and processes the personal data violates
792+37 this article, as long as, at the time of disclosing the personal data,
793+38 the disclosing controller or processor did not have actual
794+39 knowledge that the recipient intended to commit a violation. A
795+40 third party controller or processor receiving personal data from a
796+41 controller or processor is likewise not in violation of this article
797+42 solely because of the transgressions of the controller or processor
798+SB 358—LS 7186/DI 101 19
799+1 from which it receives such personal data.
800+2 Sec. 5. This article:
801+3 (1) shall not be construed as an obligation imposed on
802+4 controllers and processors that adversely affects the rights or
803+5 freedoms of any persons, such as exercising the right of free
804+6 speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the
805+7 United States; and
806+8 (2) does not apply to personal data in the context of a purely
807+9 personal or household activity.
808+10 Sec. 6. Nothing in this article shall be construed as requiring a
809+11 controller to disclose trade secrets.
810+12 Sec. 7. (a) Personal data processed by a controller for a purpose
811+13 authorized under this chapter may not be processed for any other
812+14 purpose unless otherwise allowed under this article. Personal data
813+15 processed by a controller under this chapter may be processed to
814+16 the extent that such processing is:
815+17 (1) reasonably necessary and proportionate to a purpose
816+18 authorized under this chapter; and
817+19 (2) adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in
818+20 relation to the specific purpose.
819+21 (b) Personal data collected, used, or retained under section 2 of
820+22 this chapter shall, as applicable, take into account the nature and
821+23 purpose of the collection, use, or retention. Any personal data
822+24 collected, used, or retained must be subject to reasonable
823+25 administrative, technical, and physical measures to:
824+26 (1) protect the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of
825+27 the personal data; and
826+28 (2) reduce reasonably foreseeable risks of harm to consumers
827+29 relating to such collection, use, or retention of the personal
234828 30 data.

255-8 (2) publicly commits to maintaining and using the data
256-9 without attempting to re-identify the data; and
257-10 (3) obligates any recipients of the data through contractual
258-11 requirements to comply with all applicable provisions of this

378-2 Sec. 1. (a) A consumer may invoke one (1) or more rights set
379-3 forth in subsection (b) by submitting to a controller a request
380-4 specifying the rights the consumer wishes to invoke. A known
381-5 child's parent or legal guardian may invoke on behalf of the child
382-6 one (1) or more rights set forth in subsection (b) with respect to the
383-7 processing of personal data belonging to the known child by
384-8 submitting to a controller a request specifying the rights the
385-9 consumer wishes to invoke on behalf of the child. Except as
386-10 provided in IC 24-15-7-1(c) and IC 24-15-7-2, and subject to any
387-11 limitations or conditions set forth in subsections (b) and (c), a
388-12 controller shall comply with an authenticated consumer request to
389-13 exercise a right set forth in subsection (b).
390-14 (b) A consumer has the following rights:
391-15 (1) To confirm whether or not a controller is processing the
392-16 consumer's personal data and, subject to the limitations set
393-17 forth in subdivision (4), to access such personal data.
394-18 (2) To correct inaccuracies in the consumer's personal data
395-19 that the consumer previously provided to a controller, taking
396-20 into account the nature of the personal data and the purposes
397-21 of the processing of the consumer's personal data. Upon
398-22 receiving a request from a consumer under this subdivision,
399-23 a controller shall correct inaccurate information as requested
400-24 by the consumer, taking into account the nature of the
401-25 personal data and the purposes of the processing of the
402-26 consumer's personal data.
403-27 (3) To delete personal data provided by or obtained about the
404-28 consumer.
405-29 (4) To obtain either:
406-30 (A) a copy of; or
407-31 (B) a representative summary of;
408-32 the consumer's personal data that the consumer previously
409-33 provided to the controller. Information provided to a
410-34 consumer under this subdivision must be in a portable and, to
411-35 the extent technically practicable, readily usable format that
412-36 allows the consumer to transmit the data or summary to
413-37 another controller without hindrance, in any case in which the
414-38 processing is carried out by automated means. The controller
415-39 has the discretion to send either a copy or a representative
416-40 summary of the consumer's personal data under this
417-41 subdivision, taking into account the nature of the personal
418-42 data and the purposes of the processing of the consumer's
419-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 10
420-1 personal data. A controller is not required to provide a copy
421-2 or a representative summary of a consumer's personal data
422-3 to the same consumer under this subdivision more than one
423-4 (1) time in a twelve (12) month period.
424-5 (5) To opt out of the processing of the consumer's personal
425-6 data for purposes of:
426-7 (A) targeted advertising;
427-8 (B) the sale of personal data; or
428-9 (C) profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal
429-10 or similarly significant effects concerning the consumer.
430-11 (c) Except as otherwise provided in this article, a controller shall
431-12 comply with a request by a consumer to exercise a consumer right
432-13 set forth in subsection (b) as follows:
433-14 (1) A controller shall respond to the consumer without undue
434-15 delay, but in any case not later than forty-five (45) days after
435-16 receipt of the consumer's request under this section. The
436-17 response period prescribed by this subdivision may be
437-18 extended once by an additional forty-five (45) days when
438-19 reasonably necessary, taking into account the complexity and
439-20 number of the consumer's requests, as long as the controller
440-21 informs the consumer of any such extension within the initial
441-22 forty-five (45) day response period, along with the reason for
442-23 the extension.
443-24 (2) If a controller declines to take action regarding the
444-25 consumer's request, the controller shall inform the consumer
445-26 without undue delay, but in any case not later than forty-five
446-27 (45) days after receipt of the consumer's request under this
447-28 section, of the justification for declining to take action, and
448-29 shall provide instructions for how to appeal the decision
449-30 under subsection (d).
450-31 (3) Information provided in response to a consumer request
451-32 shall be provided by a controller free of charge, up to one (1)
452-33 time annually per consumer. If requests from a consumer are
453-34 manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive, the controller
454-35 may charge the consumer a reasonable fee to cover the
455-36 administrative costs of complying with the request or decline
456-37 to act on the request. The controller bears the burden of
457-38 demonstrating the manifestly unfounded, excessive, or
458-39 repetitive nature of the request.
459-40 (4) If a controller is unable to authenticate the request using
460-41 commercially reasonable efforts, the controller shall not be
461-42 required to comply with a request to initiate an action under
462-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 11
463-1 this section and may request that the consumer provide
464-2 additional information reasonably necessary to authenticate
465-3 the consumer and the consumer's request.
466-4 (d) A controller shall establish a process for a consumer to
467-5 appeal, within a reasonable period of time after the consumer's
468-6 receipt of a decision by the controller under subsection (c)(2), the
469-7 controller's refusal to take action on a request by the consumer
470-8 under this section. The appeal process shall be conspicuously
471-9 available and similar to the process for submitting requests to
472-10 invoke a right under this section. Not later than sixty (60) days
473-11 after receipt of an appeal, a controller shall inform the consumer
474-12 in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the
475-13 appeal, including a written explanation of the reasons for the
476-14 decisions. If the appeal is denied, the controller shall also provide
477-15 the consumer with an online mechanism, if available, or other
478-16 method through which the consumer may contact the attorney
479-17 general to submit a complaint.
480-18 Chapter 4. Data Controller Responsibilities; Transparency
481-19 Sec. 1. Except as provided in IC 24-15-7-2, a controller has the
482-20 following responsibilities:
483-21 (1) A controller shall limit the collection of personal data to
484-22 what is adequate, relevant, and reasonably necessary in
485-23 relation to the purposes for which such data is processed, as
486-24 disclosed to the consumer.
487-25 (2) Except as otherwise provided in this article, a controller
488-26 shall not process personal data for purposes that are neither
489-27 reasonably necessary for nor compatible with the disclosed
490-28 purposes for which the personal data is processed, unless the
491-29 controller obtains the consumer's consent.
492-30 (3) A controller shall establish, implement, and maintain
493-31 reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data
494-32 security practices to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and
495-33 accessibility of personal data. The data security practices
496-34 required under this subdivision must be appropriate to the
497-35 volume and nature of the personal data at issue.
498-36 (4) A controller shall not process personal data in violation of
499-37 state and federal laws that prohibit unlawful discrimination
500-38 against consumers. A controller shall not discriminate against
501-39 a consumer for exercising any of the consumer rights set forth
502-40 in this article, including by denying goods or services to the
503-41 consumer, charging different prices or rates for goods and
504-42 services, or providing a different level or quality of goods or
505-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 12
506-1 services to the consumer. However, nothing in this subdivision
507-2 shall be construed to:
508-3 (A) require a controller to provide a product or service
509-4 that requires the personal data of a consumer that the
510-5 controller does not collect or maintain; or
511-6 (B) prohibit a controller from offering a different price,
512-7 rate, level, quality, or selection of goods or services to a
513-8 consumer, including offering goods or services for no fee,
514-9 if the consumer has exercised the consumer's right to opt
515-10 out under IC 24-15-3-1(b)(5) or if the offer is related to a
516-11 consumer's voluntary participation in a bona fide loyalty,
517-12 rewards, premium features, discount, or club card
518-13 program.
519-14 (5) A controller shall not process sensitive data concerning a
520-15 consumer without obtaining the consumer's consent, or, in the
521-16 case of the processing of sensitive data concerning a known
522-17 child, without processing such data in accordance with the
523-18 federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C.
524-19 6501 et seq.).
525-20 Sec. 2. Any provision of a contract or agreement of any kind
526-21 that purports to waive or limit in any way a consumer's rights
527-22 under IC 24-15-3 is contrary to public policy and is void and
528-23 unenforceable.
529-24 Sec. 3. A controller shall provide consumers with a reasonably
530-25 accessible, clear, and meaningful privacy notice that includes:
531-26 (1) the categories of personal data processed by the controller;
532-27 (2) the purpose for processing personal data;
533-28 (3) how consumers may exercise their consumer rights under
534-29 IC 24-15-3, including how a consumer may appeal a
535-30 controller's decision with regard to the consumer's request;
536-31 (4) the categories of personal data that the controller shares
537-32 with third parties, if any; and
538-33 (5) the categories of third parties, if any, with whom the
539-34 controller shares personal data.
540-35 Sec. 4. If a controller sells a consumer's personal data to third
541-36 parties or uses a consumer's personal data for targeted advertising,
542-37 the controller shall clearly and conspicuously disclose such activity,
543-38 as well as the manner in which a consumer may exercise the right
544-39 to opt out of such sales or use.
545-40 Sec. 5. A controller shall establish, and shall describe in a
546-41 privacy notice provided under section 3 of this chapter, one (1) or
547-42 more secure and reliable means for consumers to submit a request
548-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 13
549-1 to exercise their rights under IC 24-15-3. Such means must take
550-2 into account:
551-3 (1) the ways in which consumers normally interact with the
552-4 controller;
553-5 (2) the need for the secure and reliable communication of such
554-6 requests; and
555-7 (3) the ability of the controller to authenticate the identity of
556-8 the consumer making the request.
557-9 A controller may not require a consumer to create a new account
558-10 in order to exercise the consumer's rights under IC 24-15-3 but
559-11 may require a consumer to use an existing account.
560-12 Chapter 5. Responsibility According to Role; Controllers and
561-13 Processors
562-14 Sec. 1. A processor shall adhere to the instructions of a
563-15 controller and shall assist the controller in meeting its obligations
564-16 under this chapter. Such assistance shall include the following:
565-17 (1) Fulfilling the controller's obligation to respond to
566-18 consumer requests under IC 24-15-3 by appropriate technical
567-19 and organizational measures, insofar as this is reasonably
568-20 practicable, and taking into account the nature of processing
569-21 and the information available to the processor.
570-22 (2) Taking into account the nature of processing and the
571-23 information available to the processor, assisting the controller
572-24 in meeting the controller's obligations in relation to:
573-25 (A) the security of processing the personal data; and
574-26 (B) the notification of a breach of security of the system of
575-27 the processor under IC 24-4.9;
576-28 in order to meet the controller's obligations.
577-29 (3) Providing necessary information to enable the controller
578-30 to conduct and document data protection assessments under
579-31 IC 24-15-6.
580-32 Sec. 2. (a) A contract between a controller and a processor shall
581-33 govern the processor's data processing procedures with respect to
582-34 processing performed on behalf of the controller. The contract
583-35 must be binding and clearly set forth instructions for processing
584-36 personal data, the nature and purpose of processing, the type of
585-37 data subject to processing, the duration of processing, and the
586-38 rights and obligations of both parties. The contract must also
587-39 include requirements that the processor do the following:
588-40 (1) Ensure that each individual processing personal data is
589-41 subject to a duty of confidentiality with respect to the data.
590-42 (2) At the controller's direction, delete or return all personal
591-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 14
592-1 data to the controller as requested at the end of the provision
593-2 of services, unless retention of the personal data is required by
594-3 law.
595-4 (3) Upon the reasonable request of the controller, make
596-5 available to the controller all information in its possession
597-6 necessary to demonstrate the processor's compliance with the
598-7 obligations in this chapter.
599-8 (4) Allow, and cooperate with, reasonable assessments by the
600-9 controller or the controller's designated assessor.
601-10 Alternatively, the processor may arrange for a qualified and
602-11 independent assessor to conduct an assessment of the
603-12 processor's policies and technical and organizational
604-13 measures in support of the processor's obligations under this
605-14 chapter using an appropriate and accepted control standard
606-15 or framework and assessment procedure for such
607-16 assessments. The processor shall provide a report of any such
608-17 assessment to the controller upon request.
609-18 (5) Subject to subsection (b), engage any subcontractor
610-19 pursuant to a written contract that requires the subcontractor
611-20 to meet the obligations of the processor with respect to the
612-21 personal data.
613-22 (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to relieve a
614-23 controller or a processor from the liabilities imposed on the
615-24 controller or processor by virtue of its role in the processing
616-25 relationship.
617-26 Sec. 3. Determining whether a person is acting as a controller or
618-27 a processor with respect to a specific processing of data is a fact
619-28 based determination that depends upon the context in which
620-29 personal data is processed. A processor that continues to adhere to
621-30 a controller's instructions with respect to a specific processing of
622-31 personal data remains a processor.
623-32 Chapter 6. Data Protection Assessments
624-33 Sec. 1. (a) The data protection assessment requirements set
625-34 forth in this chapter apply to processing activities created or
626-35 generated after December 31, 2024, and are not retroactive to any
627-36 processing activities created or generated before January 1, 2025.
628-37 (b) A controller shall conduct and document a data protection
629-38 assessment of each of the following processing activities involving
630-39 personal data:
631-40 (1) The processing of personal data for purposes of targeted
632-41 advertising.
633-42 (2) The sale of personal data.
634-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 15
635-1 (3) The processing of personal data for purposes of profiling,
636-2 if such profiling presents a reasonably foreseeable risk of:
637-3 (A) unfair or deceptive treatment of, or unlawful disparate
638-4 impact on, consumers;
639-5 (B) financial, physical, or reputational injury to
640-6 consumers;
641-7 (C) a physical or other intrusion upon the solitude or
642-8 seclusion, or the private affairs or concerns, of consumers,
643-9 if such intrusion would be offensive to a reasonable person;
644-10 or
645-11 (D) other substantial injury to consumers.
646-12 (4) The processing of sensitive data.
647-13 (5) Any processing activities involving personal data that
648-14 present a heightened risk of harm to consumers.
649-15 (c) Data protection assessments conducted under this chapter
650-16 shall identify and weigh the benefits that may flow, directly and
651-17 indirectly, from the processing to the controller, the consumer,
652-18 other stakeholders, and the public against the potential risks to the
653-19 rights of the consumer associated with such processing, as
654-20 mitigated by safeguards that can be employed by the controller to
655-21 reduce such risks. The use of de-identified data and the reasonable
656-22 expectations of consumers, as well as the context of the processing
657-23 and the relationship between the controller and the consumer
658-24 whose personal data will be processed, shall be factored into this
659-25 assessment by the controller.
660-26 (d) A single data protection assessment may address a
661-27 comparable set of processing operations that include similar
662-28 activities.
663-29 (e) A data protection assessment conducted by a controller for
664-30 the purpose of compliance with other laws or regulations may be
665-31 used to comply with this section if the assessment has a reasonably
666-32 comparable scope and effect to an assessment conducted under this
667-33 section.
668-34 Sec. 2. (a) The attorney general may request, pursuant to a civil
669-35 investigative demand, that a controller disclose any data protection
670-36 assessment that is relevant to an investigation conducted by the
671-37 attorney general. Upon receipt of such a request, the controller
672-38 shall make the data protection assessment available to the attorney
673-39 general. Subject to subsection (b), the attorney general may
674-40 evaluate the data protection assessment for a controller's
675-41 compliance with the responsibilities set forth in IC 24-15-4.
676-42 (b) Data protection assessments are confidential and exempt
677-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 16
678-1 from public inspection and copying under IC 5-14-3-4. The
679-2 disclosure of a data protection assessment pursuant to a request
680-3 from the attorney general does not constitute a waiver of
681-4 attorney-client privilege or work product protection with respect
682-5 to the assessment and any information contained in the assessment.
683-6 Chapter 7. Processing De-identified Data or Pseudonymous
684-7 Data; Exemptions
685-8 Sec. 1. (a) A controller in possession of de-identified data shall:
686-9 (1) take reasonable measures to ensure that the data cannot
687-10 be associated with an individual;
688-11 (2) publicly commit to maintaining and using de-identified
689-12 data without attempting to re-identify the data; and
690-13 (3) contractually obligate any recipients of the de-identified
691-14 data to comply with all provisions of this chapter.
692-15 (b) This chapter shall not be construed to require a controller
693-16 or processor to:
694-17 (1) re-identify de-identified data or pseudonymous data;
695-18 (2) maintain data in identifiable form; or
696-19 (3) collect, obtain, retain, or access any data or technology;
697-20 in order to be capable of associating an authenticated consumer
698-21 request with personal data.
699-22 (c) This chapter shall not be construed to require a controller or
700-23 processor to comply with a request of a consumer under IC 24-15-3
701-24 if all of the following conditions are met:
702-25 (1) The controller is not reasonably capable of associating the
703-26 request with the personal data or it would be unreasonably
704-27 burdensome for the controller to associate the request with
705-28 the personal data.
706-29 (2) The controller does not use the personal data to recognize
707-30 or respond to the specific consumer who is the subject of the
708-31 personal data, or associate the personal data with other
709-32 personal data about the same specific consumer.
710-33 (3) The controller does not sell the personal data to any third
711-34 party or otherwise voluntarily disclose the personal data to
712-35 any third party other than a processor.
713-36 Sec. 2. The:
714-37 (1) rights of a consumer set forth in IC 24-15-3-1(b)(1)
715-38 through IC 24-15-3-1(b)(5); and
716-39 (2) responsibilities of a controller under IC 24-15-4-1(1)
717-40 through IC 24-15-4-1(5);
718-41 do not apply to pseudonymous data in any case in which the
719-42 controller is able to demonstrate that any information necessary to
720-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 17
721-1 identify the consumer is kept separately and is subject to effective
722-2 technical and organizational controls that prevent the controller
723-3 from accessing such information.
724-4 Sec. 3. A controller that discloses pseudonymous data or
725-5 de-identified data shall exercise reasonable oversight to monitor
726-6 compliance with any contractual commitments to which the
727-7 pseudonymous data or de-identified data is subject and shall take
728-8 appropriate steps to address any breaches of those contractual
729-9 commitments.
730-10 Chapter 8. Limitations
731-11 Sec. 1. (a) This article shall not be construed to restrict a
732-12 controller's or processor's ability to do any of the following:
733-13 (1) Comply with federal, state, or local laws, rules, or
734-14 regulations.
735-15 (2) Comply with a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry,
736-16 investigation, subpoena, or summons by a federal, state, local,
737-17 or other governmental authority.
738-18 (3) Cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning
739-19 conduct or activity that the controller or processor reasonably
740-20 and in good faith believes may violate federal, state, or local
741-21 laws, rules, or regulations.
742-22 (4) Investigate, establish, exercise, prepare for, or defend legal
743-23 claims.
744-24 (5) Provide a product or service specifically requested by a
745-25 consumer, perform a contract to which the consumer, or a
746-26 parent of a child, is a party, including fulfilling the terms of a
747-27 written warranty, or take steps at the request of the consumer
748-28 or parent before entering into a contract.
749-29 (6) Take immediate steps to protect an interest that is
750-30 essential for the life or physical safety of the consumer or of
751-31 another individual, if the processing cannot be manifestly
752-32 based on another legal basis.
753-33 (7) Prevent, detect, protect against, or respond to security
754-34 incidents, identity theft, fraud, harassment, malicious or
755-35 deceptive activities, or any illegal activity, to preserve the
756-36 integrity or security of systems, or to investigate, report, or
757-37 prosecute those responsible for any such action.
758-38 (8) Engage in public or peer reviewed scientific or statistical
759-39 research that is in the public interest and that adheres to all
760-40 applicable ethics and privacy laws and is approved,
761-41 monitored, and governed by an institutional review board, or
762-42 a similar independent oversight entity, that determines if:
763-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 18
764-1 (A) the information is likely to provide substantial benefits
765-2 that do not exclusively accrue to the controller;
766-3 (B) the expected benefits of the research outweigh the
767-4 privacy risks; and
768-5 (C) the controller has implemented reasonable safeguards
769-6 to mitigate privacy risks associated with research,
770-7 including any risks associated with re-identification.
771-8 (9) Assist another controller, processor, or third party with
772-9 any obligation described in this section.
773-10 (b) Processing personal data for a purposes expressly identified
774-11 in subsection (a)(1) through (a)(9) does not by itself make a person
775-12 a controller with respect to such processing.
776-13 Sec. 2. The obligations imposed on a controller or a processor
777-14 under this article do not restrict a controller's or processor's
778-15 ability to collect, use, or retain data to do the following:
779-16 (1) Conduct internal research to develop, improve, or repair
780-17 products, services, or technology.
781-18 (2) Effectuate a product recall.
782-19 (3) Identify and repair technical errors that impair existing or
783-20 intended functionality.
784-21 (4) Perform internal operations that are:
785-22 (A) reasonably aligned with the expectations of the
786-23 consumer;
787-24 (B) reasonably anticipated based on the consumer's
788-25 existing relationship with the controller; or
789-26 (C) otherwise compatible with:
790-27 (i) processing data in furtherance of the provision of a
791-28 product or service specifically requested by a consumer,
792-29 or the parent of a child; or
793-30 (ii) the performance of a contract to which the consumer
794-31 is a party.
795-32 Sec. 3. The obligations imposed on a controller or a processor
796-33 under this article do not apply if compliance by the controller or
797-34 processor with this article would violate an evidentiary privilege
798-35 under Indiana law. This article shall not be construed to prevent
799-36 a controller or processor from providing, as part of a privileged
800-37 communication, personal data concerning a consumer to a person
801-38 covered by an evidentiary privilege under Indiana law.
802-39 Sec. 4. A controller or processor that discloses personal data to
803-40 a third party controller or processor in compliance with this article
804-41 is not in violation of this article if the third party controller or
805-42 processor that receives and processes the personal data violates
806-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 19
807-1 this article, as long as, at the time of disclosing the personal data,
808-2 the disclosing controller or processor did not have actual
809-3 knowledge that the recipient intended to commit a violation. A
810-4 third party controller or processor receiving personal data from a
811-5 controller or processor is likewise not in violation of this article
812-6 solely because of the transgressions of the controller or processor
813-7 from which it receives such personal data.
814-8 Sec. 5. This article:
815-9 (1) shall not be construed as an obligation imposed on
816-10 controllers and processors that adversely affects the rights or
817-11 freedoms of any persons, such as exercising the right of free
818-12 speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the
819-13 United States; and
820-14 (2) does not apply to personal data in the context of a purely
821-15 personal or household activity.
822-16 Sec. 6. Nothing in this article shall be construed as requiring a
823-17 controller to disclose trade secrets.
824-18 Sec. 7. (a) Personal data processed by a controller for a purpose
825-19 authorized under this chapter may not be processed for any other
826-20 purpose unless otherwise allowed under this article. Personal data
827-21 processed by a controller under this chapter may be processed to
828-22 the extent that such processing is:
829-23 (1) reasonably necessary and proportionate to a purpose
830-24 authorized under this chapter; and
831-25 (2) adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in
832-26 relation to the specific purpose.
833-27 (b) Personal data collected, used, or retained under section 2 of
834-28 this chapter shall, as applicable, take into account the nature and
835-29 purpose of the collection, use, or retention. Any personal data
836-30 collected, used, or retained must be subject to reasonable
837-31 administrative, technical, and physical measures to:
838-32 (1) protect the confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility of
839-33 the personal data; and
840-34 (2) reduce reasonably foreseeable risks of harm to consumers
841-35 relating to such collection, use, or retention of the personal
842-36 data.
843-37 (c) If a controller processes personal data pursuant to an
844-38 exemption under this chapter, the controller bears the burden of
845-39 demonstrating that such processing:
846-40 (1) qualifies for the exemption; and
847-41 (2) complies with the requirements set forth in this section.
848-42 Chapter 9. Investigative Authority
849-ES 358—LS 7186/DI 101 20
850-1 Sec. 1. Whenever the attorney general has reasonable cause to
851-2 believe that any person has engaged in, is engaging in, or is about
852-3 to engage in any violation of this article, the attorney general is
853-4 empowered to issue a civil investigative demand to investigate the
854-5 suspected violation.
855-6 Chapter 10. Enforcement
856-7 Sec. 1. The attorney general has exclusive authority to enforce
857-8 the provisions of this article.
858-9 Sec. 2. (a) Before initiating an action under this chapter, the
859-10 attorney general shall provide a controller or processor thirty (30)
860-11 days written notice identifying the specific provisions of this article
861-12 that the attorney general alleges have been or are being violated.
862-13 If within the thirty (30) day period set forth in this section, the
863-14 controller or processor:
864-15 (1) cures the alleged violation; and
865-16 (2) provides the attorney general an express written statement
866-17 that:
867-18 (A) the alleged violation has been cured; and
868-19 (B) actions have been taken to ensure no further such
869-20 violations will occur;
870-21 the attorney general shall not initiate an action against the
