Try some questions from the course

Question 1 of 3

Is there a single federal law that sets privacy rules for all US consumers?

 

There is no single comprehensive federal consumer privacy law. States have passed their own.

Lesson 1, Why the rules exist, teaches this. See the outline

Question 2 of 3

Why should you check the state list on the date you use this course?

 

The landscape changes each year. Use the current list, not a memorized one.

Lesson 2, What's covered, teaches this. See the outline

Question 3 of 3

In most states, how long do you have to respond to a consumer request, before any extension?

 

The usual pattern is 45 days, with one 45-day extension. Check each state's rule.

Lesson 4, Red flags & duties, teaches this. See the outline
