Mid-Market Compliance Guide
New Hampshire's NHPA closely follows the Connecticut CTDPA model. It applies to entities processing data of 35,000+ consumers (excluding payment transactions) or 10,000+ consumers deriving 25%+ revenue from personal data sales. The lower thresholds make it more broadly applicable than most US state laws. The 60-day cure period expires December 31, 2025.
