Florida Privacy & Data Security Laws

Every statute below can apply to a business handling Florida residents' data, depending on your revenue, the number of Florida consumers you process, and what kind of data you collect. This is a general reference, not a determination for your specific business — run the full questionnaire to see which of these actually apply to you.

Comprehensive Privacy Law · 1

Unusual, narrow-but-severe model: no consumer-count threshold at all. Applies only to for-profit controllers with more than $1 BILLION in global gross revenue that also either derive 50%+ of revenue from online ad sales (including targeted advertising), operate a smart-speaker/voice-assistant service, or run an app store with 250,000+ apps. In practice this only reaches a small number of the largest tech companies. Nonprofits are fully exempt.

Florida Protecting DNA Privacy Act
FL DNA Privacy Act

Enforced through criminal penalties, not a civil private right of action.
