What Delist can do for you in Arkansas
Arkansas has no comprehensive privacy law in effect. We submit your requests through each broker's own opt-out channel, on your behalf. Many national brokers honor these requests wherever you live, but none is required to by Arkansas law, so we follow up and re-file rather than assume.
How the three groups work: our authorized-agent framework.
What still protects you
Arkansas has no comprehensive consumer privacy law in effect. What still protects you: the state breach-notification law (Ark. Code Ann. § 4-110-101 et seq.), the Deceptive Trade Practices Act enforced by the Attorney General, the Children and Teens' Online Privacy Protection Act for minors' data, and the opt-out channels national data brokers offer regardless of where you live.
How to exercise your rights
Arkansas has no comprehensive privacy law, so there is no statutory access, deletion or opt-out right to exercise against most businesses. Residents can still submit opt-out and deletion requests to data brokers registered under California's and other states' laws (most national brokers honor requests from any U.S. resident), enable the Global Privacy Control in their browser, and rely on Arkansas's breach-notification law. Complaints about deceptive practices go to the Arkansas Attorney General.
