Indiana Do Not Call List

Is Reverse Phone Lookup Legal in Indiana?
Yes. Indiana does not restrict the personal use of reverse phone lookup services. As of January 1, 2026, Indiana residents have state-level rights to control their personal data - including requesting removal from lookup databases. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) prohibits using lookup results for employment, tenant, or credit decisions in every state. Indiana's IN-CDPA provides additional state-level rights on top of these federal minimums.
Your Privacy Rights as an Indiana Resident
The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act (IN-CDPA, Ind. Code § 24-15 et seq., enacted SB 5, 2023) took effect January 1, 2026. Indiana modeled its law closely on Virginia's VCDPA - the template most commonly used across the Midwest and Southeast. Residents can opt out of the sale of personal data and targeted advertising, and have rights to access, correct, delete, and port their information, with a 45-day response window. Nonprofits are generally exempt, and there is no blanket small-business exemption.
