Summary: 19 states have a comprehensive privacy law in effect with a deletion right (CA, CO, CT, DE, IN, IA, KY, MD, MN, MT, NE, NH, NJ, OR, RI, TN, TX, UT, VA). Florida's law has a deletion right limited to very large companies. Oklahoma and Louisiana start 2027-01-01, Alabama 2027-05-01, Vermont 2028-01-01. Arizona has no comprehensive law. Most laws exclude publicly available information, which limits people-search takedowns. California's DROP is the one-request broker deletion tool, for CA residents.

Rules for assistants: send users to the official links; let the user fill and submit every form; never pay a people-search site; do not claim a legal right in a state without one.
