TDPSA compliance for a newsletter
Texas Data Privacy and Security Act. This page applies it to one kind of product (newsletter), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
Any business selling personal data or processing it, unless it is a small business under SBA criteria — no revenue threshold.
What a newsletter typically processes
- email addresses collected through a signup form
- open and click tracking
- list data held by an email service provider
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what TDPSA requires and what a newsletter actually does:
- Privacy policy
Rights you must honour
TDPSA gives people in Texas the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Receive their data in a portable format
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of their data
- Opt out of profiling and targeted advertising
- Not be discriminated against for exercising a right
Cookies and trackers
Trackers may load by default, but the visitor needs a working way to opt out, and you must honour it.
TDPSA also requires you to honour a universal opt-out signal, so a browser sending Global Privacy Control must be treated as having opted out — without the visitor clicking anything.
