The LDPA gives a Louisiana consumer the right to confirm and access their personal data, correct inaccuracies, delete data, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and profiling producing a legal or similarly significant effect.

A controller must respond without undue delay and no later than 45 days after receipt, with one additional 45-day extension available if the controller notifies the consumer of the extension and its reason within the initial period. An appeal of a denial must be answered within 60 days, and a denial must include an online mechanism to reach the Attorney General. Any contract provision waiving or limiting a consumer's rights under this section is void and unenforceable as against public policy.
