Nebraska takes a unique approach to privacy law - like Texas, it has no numeric thresholds for the number of consumers processed. The Nebraska Data Privacy Act (NDPA), effective January 1, 2025, means any business that doesn't qualify for the small business exemption may be subject to compliance obligations.

This course gives your team practical guidance on the Nebraska Data Privacy Act. We cover the critical small business exemption, the rights Nebraska consumers have over their data, sensitive data requirements, and the enforcement landscape with penalties up to $7,500 per violation.

The NDPA includes a permanent 30-day cure period that never sunsets - more business-friendly than states where the cure period expires. Understanding whether your organisation qualifies for the small business exemption is the first step in compliance. No technical background required - just focused, practical training your team can apply immediately.

Who should take this course?

This course is designed for employees who handle customer data at organisations that may be subject to Nebraska's privacy law. This includes marketing, sales, customer service, HR, and IT teams.

When does the NDPA take effect?

The Nebraska Data Privacy Act takes effect on January 1, 2025. Unlike most state privacy laws, it has no numeric thresholds, so the small business exemption is the key factor determining applicability.

Does NDPA apply to my organisation?

Unlike most state privacy laws, NDPA has no numeric thresholds for the number of consumers. Instead, it applies to any business that conducts business in Nebraska or targets Nebraska residents, UNLESS they qualify for the small business exemption as defined by the SBA.

How is NDPA different from other state privacy laws?

NDPA's most significant difference is the lack of numeric thresholds - similar to Texas. Most state laws require processing data of 100,000+ consumers. In Nebraska, any business that doesn't qualify for the small business exemption may be subject to the law. It also has a permanent 30-day cure period and penalties up to $7,500 per violation.

Is there a money back guarantee?

Yes, we offer a 14-day 100% money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the course for any reason, simply contact us within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
