The enactment of recent data privacy regulations like the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act and Colorado Privacy Act highlight how U.S. states are working to extend additional rights to consumers. Amid rising rights requests, such as the right to request the deletion of personal data, enterprises impacted by developing and current data protection laws must ensure the user making the request is the true data owner.

This article will explore key considerations and best practices for organizations to remain compliant with data regulations and to ensure consumers’ personal data is secure and out of the hands of fraudsters.
