After the success of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in California, Virginia is now following the same path. The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) has been passed and will go into effect on 1st of January, 2023. This law is closely designed after the newer California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) but with a few significant and important differences.

Facts related to VCDPA
Virginia is the second US State to pass a comprehensive data privacy law.
The VCDPA goes into effect on January 1, 2023.
Data controllers will have to conduct data protection assessments for processing which includes targeted advertising, sale of personal data, profiling, sensitive personal data or any other activity which presents a heightened risk of harm to data subjects.
The obligation to conduct data protection assessments would only be required for processing activities created or generated after January 1, 2023 and would not be retroactive.
The VCDPA defines a minor as someone under 13 years of age and provides them additional protection.
Businesses can face civil penalties for non-compliance up to $7500 for each violation under the VCDPA.
There is no 12 month time limit as found in the CPRA or CCPA after which the business can re-ask for the consent of the consumer who chooses to exercise the right to opt-out.
DSRs need to be fulfilled within 45 days of being received under the VCDPA.
The VCDPA broadly exempts personal data processed for HR/employment and business-to-business purposes.
