On July 1, 2023, Connecticut will become the latest state within the United States to have its own data privacy regulation. It will join California, Virginia, Colorado, and Utah as the only other states with similar regulations.

The Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) carries several provisions that have become a global mainstay in most privacy regulations, such as data subject rights, lawful bases for data processing, clearly defined penalties, and a clear exclusive body with regulatory authority related to enforcing the CTDPA.

Naturally, having a clear understanding of what responsibilities the CTDPA places on an organization as well as their key obligations towards users can be vital in an organization’s attempts to create a reliable and effective CTDPA compliance program.

People Also Ask

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions related to the Connecticut Data Privacy Act:

As of December 2022, five US states, namely - California, Colorado, Utah, Virginia, and Connecticut, have enacted and adopted comprehensive data privacy laws. 

Under the CTDPA, users have the right to access, correction, deletion, copy, and to opt-out of targeted advertising.

There are several major differences between the GDPR and the privacy laws in the US. The first one is the fact that the GDPR applies across the EU. In contrast, there’s currently no federal data privacy regulation in the United States, with states having their own data privacy regulations. The other differences include opt-in and opt-out mechanisms for data collection that highlight the GDPR’s emphasis on Privacy by Design. Lastly, the GDPR imposes extremely strict financial penalties in case of non-compliance, whereas the US laws are comparatively more lenient.
