Minnesota's new Consumer Data Privacy Act gives state residents control over how their data is collected and used. Minnesota businesses must now honor opt-out signals like Global Privacy Control (GPC), which has been available in Brave since 2020.

When you use a browser with GPC enabled and visit a website, GPC signals to the site that you don't want your data sold or shared. GPC is enabled by default in Brave, and is automatically sent to all sites you visit

GPC and privacy laws like Minnesota's Consumer Data Privacy Act solve an aspect of online privacy that cannot be solved by software alone. Brave is thrilled that MN is joining the dozen US states with similar privacy laws.

GPC is one of many privacy features available in Brave. Brave users don't need to install extensions or adjust settings to get best-in-class protection. You're shielded from trackers as soon as you start using it.
