Can I sell personal information without obtaining consent in Utah? What are the requirements?

Selling Personal Information in Utah

In Utah, you cannot sell personal information without obtaining consent ^[2.1]. The requirements for obtaining consent include providing notice to the person before obtaining nonpublic personal information and disclosing it to a third party for compensation, and providing an initial notice and an opt-out notice to the consumer before disclosing nonpublic personal financial information to a nonaffiliated third party ^[2.1].

However, there are exceptions to the notice and opt-out requirements for disclosure of nonpublic personal financial information ^[2.1]. For example, a licensee may disclose nonpublic personal financial information with the consent or at the direction of the consumer, provided that the consumer has not revoked the consent or direction ^[2.1]. Additionally, a licensee may disclose nonpublic personal financial information to comply with federal, state, or local laws, rules, and other applicable legal requirements ^[2.1].

Use of Personally Identifiable Information

Any personally identifiable information an individual provides to a State website in Utah shall be used solely by the State, its entities, and third party agents with whom it has contracted to perform a state function on its behalf, unless superseded by a federal statute, federal regulation, or State statute ^[6.1].
