State Delete Hubs

States can centralize consumer data‑deletion and opt‑out demands through a single portal that authenticates residency, forwards standardized requests to registered data brokers, and mandates machine‑readable status reporting and audit logs. By shifting the burden from individuals to a public intermediary, such hubs make privacy rights actionable at scale while creating a new regulatory chokepoint and compliance industry. — If adopted more widely, statewide delete hubs will reshape the business model of data brokers, create new enforcement and auditing workflows, and accelerate global norms for data portability and erasure.
