Oklahoma Privacy Law
Oklahoma Consumer Data Privacy Act
Overview
The Oklahoma Consumer Data Privacy Act (OKCDPA), enacted as Senate Bill 546, was signed into law by Governor Kevin Stitt on March 20, 2026, making Oklahoma the 20th state to pass a comprehensive consumer data privacy law. The law takes effect on January 1, 2027. The OKCDPA grants Oklahoma consumers the right to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of their personal data. Consumers can opt out of the sale of personal data, targeted advertising, and profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Controllers must respond to consumer requests within 45 days, with one possible 45-day extension. The law prohibits dark patterns — consent obtained through manipulative interface design, hovering, muting, pausing, or closing content is not valid. The law applies to businesses conducting business in Oklahoma or targeting Oklahoma residents that process personal data of at least 100,000 consumers, or process data of at least 25,000 consumers while deriving over 50% of gross revenue from selling personal data. The OKCDPA follows the Virginia model closely, with enforcement vested exclusively in the Oklahoma Attorney General. It includes a permanent 30-day cure period and penalties of up to $7,500 per violation. There is no private right of action. Entity-level exemptions cover government entities, nonprofits, GLBA-regulated financial institutions, HIPAA-covered entities, and higher education institutions.
