## What the Maryland Online Data Privacy Act asks for

MODPA is one of the US state comprehensive privacy laws. Like the other state laws it
centres on notice, consumer choice and opt-out rights, and Maryland is among the states
that require recognition of a universal opt-out mechanism such as Global Privacy
Control.

- Give a clear privacy notice describing what is collected and why.
- Offer a working opt-out of targeted advertising and the sale of personal data.
- Recognise a universal opt-out mechanism (GPC) as a valid opt-out.
- Apply stricter handling to sensitive categories of data.
- Keep an auditable record of the choices visitors make.
