Limits on government data collection and sharing
The law limits what government can collect, keep, and share about you. Starting July 1, 2027, agencies may collect only the personal data they reasonably need for a stated purpose. They cannot keep personal data longer than three years unless a written policy reasonably justifies more time or other record laws require it. A government body cannot buy, sell, trade, or transfer your personal data without your written consent. Transfers are allowed only to another compliant government body, to a contractor under strict return-or-destroy terms, with a written OK from an elected body for up to two years, or when allowed by health or education privacy laws.
See and fix your government-held data
If you are a current or former Wyoming resident, you can ask any government body for a copy of your personal data. Your legally authorized representative can ask too. The agency may charge a fee, but it must follow the Wyoming Public Records Act. You can object if your data is wrong, incomplete, kept too long, shared too widely, or if access was denied. The agency must verify your identity and respond in 60 days. If it agrees, it must fix, delete, or give access. If it denies, it must keep your statement and tell you in writing.
Agencies must adopt data policies on schedule
By January 1, 2027, the state Chief Information Officer, with the state archivist, provides sample data policies. Starting July 1, 2027, any agency that collects or keeps personal data must adopt and follow a policy on collection, access, security, retention, and use. Counties, cities, public colleges, and towns must comply by July 1, 2028. Other local districts must comply by July 1, 2029. Each government body must have the needed policies by its date.
Which agencies and records rules apply
The law defines key terms like personal data and government entity so the rules are clear. Courts and law enforcement are not included in “government entity” for these rules. If an agency follows HIPAA or FERPA with a written policy, it is treated as meeting this law’s collection and retention rules for that data. If this law conflicts with other state or federal law, the other law controls. This law does not change what must be released under the Wyoming Public Records Act.
