What Delist can do for you in Michigan
Michigan 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 Michigan law, so we follow up and re-file rather than assume.
How the three groups work: our authorized-agent framework.
What still protects you
Michiganders have breach/identity-theft protection (MCL § 445.61 et seq.) and general consumer-protection remedies, plus the practical ability to submit opt-out/deletion requests to CCPA-covered and other-state-registered data brokers and to use GPC. They cannot compel most businesses to honor access, correction, deletion, or opt-out rights under state law.
How to exercise your rights
Residents rely on the Identity Theft Protection Act and breach notification. They can submit opt-out/deletion requests to CCPA-covered and other-state-registered data brokers and enable the Global Privacy Control. No Michigan mechanism compels access/deletion from businesses not covered by another state's law.

Address Confidentiality Program administered by the Michigan Attorney General for survivors of domestic violence/stalking.
