United States

A federal baseline with fifty state overlays, and privacy enforcement that increasingly starts in a browser: state AGs test whether your opt-outs actually work. The Radar maps federal plus every state, because "US law" was never one attachment.

Federal (FTC Act §5, ADA, CAN-SPAM, TCPA, COPPA) → state privacy and consumer statutes → sector and professional boards.

The instruments that do the damage

State privacy patchwork

19 comprehensive state privacy laws in effect during 2026 (20 enacted; Oklahoma effective 1 Jan 2027), with differing thresholds, rights and GPC duties.

IAPP / MULTISTATE
GPC enforcement

California, Colorado and Connecticut ran a joint 2025 sweep on Global Privacy Control compliance; Sephora’s USD 1.2m (2022) started the pattern.

CPPA, SEP 2025
ADA web accessibility

3,117 federal website-accessibility suits filed in 2025; roughly two-thirds of defendants make under USD 25m revenue. [APPROVAL: verify against Seyfarth original]

SEYFARTH / USABLENET
Litigation statutes

VPPA (USD 2,500 per viewer), TCPA (USD 500, USD 1,500 per message) and CIPA session-replay theories drive private claims, not just regulator action.

Every one of the 50 states is a distinct sub-jurisdiction in the matrix. States without comprehensive privacy laws still carry the federal baseline plus their own UDAP and bar/board rules.
