Consumer privacy law in Indiana
Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act
Applies at 100,000 consumers, or 25,000 consumers where more than 50% of revenue comes from selling personal data.
Data rights in Indiana
Indiana has enacted the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, a comprehensive consumer privacy law. It gives residents rights over their personal data, typically access, correction, deletion, and the ability to opt out of the sale of data and targeted advertising, and generally requires vendors to sign a data-processing agreement. When you buy SaaS that will hold data about Indiana residents, the vendor's terms should line up with those obligations.
The clauses that decide your risk
- Data use & AI training, is your data used only to provide the service, or to "improve" (train) the vendor’s models?
- Liability cap, often just one month of fees, against real data-loss exposure
- Auto-renewal, the cancellation-notice window (miss it and you renew for a year)
- Price increases, capped, or unilateral at renewal?
- Data export & deletion on termination, can you get your data out, and is it deleted?
- Uptime SLA and service credits
Indiana SaaS agreement FAQ
Does Indiana have a data privacy law that affects SaaS contracts?
Yes. Indiana has enacted a comprehensive consumer privacy law, the Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act. It gives residents rights over their personal data (such as access, deletion, and opting out of sale or targeted advertising) and generally requires a data-processing agreement, which shapes what a SaaS vendor can do with data about Indiana residents. Note the scope: Applies at 100,000 consumers, or 25,000 consumers where more than 50% of revenue comes from selling personal data.
Can a SaaS vendor use my Indiana business's data to train AI?
Only if the contract lets them. Many SaaS agreements grant the vendor a right to use "customer data" to "improve the services," which can extend to training models. Regardless of Indiana law, insist the contract says your data is never used to train shared or general-purpose models and is processed only to provide the service to you.
What should I check before signing a SaaS agreement in Indiana?
The clauses that decide your risk: how your data can be used (and whether it trains AI), the liability cap versus your data-loss exposure, auto-renewal and the cancellation-notice window, unilateral price increases, and whether you can export and require deletion of your data on termination. ClauseAudit flags each against Indiana law in about a minute.
