As of mid-2025, several jurisdictions are implementing new privacy laws or updates to existing ones. Here’s what you need to know about the changes and how they will impact the Clym Widget settings.
Tennessee
What is the Tennessee Information Protection Act?
Tennessee’s Information Protection Act (TIPA), effective July 1, 2025, gives residents greater control over their personal data. It aligns closely with laws in Virginia and Utah, establishing consumer rights and clear business obligations related to data collection, sale, and use.
How Will It Affect Your Clym Widget?
The privacy widget will be updated to:
-
Allow Tennessee users to access, correct, and delete their personal data.
-
Provide opt-out functionality for data sales and targeted advertising.
-
Recognize universal opt-out mechanisms (UOOMs), which must be honored by January 1, 2026.
Cookie consent is not mandated under TIPA, so the widget will not prompt consent by default. However, transparency in data use remains essential.
Minnesota
What is the Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act?
Minnesota’s Consumer Data Privacy Act (MCDPA), effective July 31, 2025, introduces robust privacy rights including access, correction, deletion, and opt-out of data sales, targeted advertising, and profiling. The law places a strong emphasis on data minimization and purpose limitation.
How Will It Affect Your Clym Widget?
Visitors from Minnesota will be able to:
-
Submit data subject requests for access, correction, deletion, and data portability.
-
Opt out of profiling, targeted advertising, and data sales.
-
Exercise their rights through UOOMs such as the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal.
The law does not require cookie consent banners but requires clear communication of data collection practices. The widget will support GPC and similar signals for a seamless user experience.
Australia
What’s Changing in Australia’s Privacy Act?
Effective June 10, 2025, Australia is introducing updates to its Privacy Act 1988, tightening requirements around consent, transparency, and data retention. These updates aim to improve consumer control over personal data and cross-border transfers.
How Will It Affect Your Clym Widget?
The widget will be updated for Australian visitors to:
-
Display enhanced privacy notices to inform users about the type and purpose of personal information collected.
-
Support clear opt-in mechanisms for sensitive data processing.
Peru
What is Law No. 29733?
Peru’s Law No. 29733 - Personal Data Protection Law, taking effect March 31, 2025, strengthens consent and individual rights around data processing. The law also introduces more rigorous compliance obligations for data controllers.
How Will It Affect Your Clym Widget?
To meet Peruvian requirements, the widget will be enhanced to:
-
Enable users to provide informed, express consent for data processing.
-
Facilitate access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition (ARCO) rights requests.
You may need to update the information in your Company Information to reflect mandatory language and contact details for local data protection officers (DPOs).
Here is a step-by-step guideline on how to add a Data Privacy Officer, or DPO, to your Clym account.
Mexico
What’s New in the LFPDPPP Update?
Mexico has issued updates to the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (LFPDPPP), effective March 2025, reinforcing consent mechanisms and clarifying individual rights and business duties.
How Will It Affect Your Clym Widget?
The widget will be configured to:
-
Collect and store consent for data cookies and scripts that may collect personal information (such as analytics, advertising and social).
-
Allow users to exercise ARCO rights (access, rectification, cancellation, opposition).
Clym geo-settings are pre-configured but are fully customizable. Please review this guide on how to adjust settings to better fit your needs.
You may need to update your Privacy Notice if you operate in any of these locations, to make sure you include the required information on data collection practices, contacts of Data Protection Officer and information on how to submit a data subject request.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor global privacy developments and roll out updates across our platform.
