Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Effective January 1, 2023)

Under the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), certain businesses must give consumers the ability to access, control, and delete personal data that the business collects about them, or that consumers have otherwise provided. Consumers have the right to obtain a copy of data the consumer has previously provided, in a usable format “to the extent technically feasible.”

Virginia consumers can opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of their personal data, or profiling that results in the business providing or denying “financial and lending services, housing, insurance, education enrollment, criminal justice, employment opportunities, health care services, or access to basic necessities, such as food and water.”

Utah Consumer Privacy Act (Effective December 31, 2023)

The Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”) provides Utah residents with the right to (1) confirm whether a controller is processing the consumer’s personal data and to access that personal data; (2) delete the consumer’s personal data that the consumer provided to the controller; and (3) obtain a copy of the consumer’s personal data that the consumer previously provided to the controller.

The UCPA defines “Personal Data” as information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable individual. Data that cannot be linked to a consumer and publicly available information and the processing of personal data for purely personal or household purposes are excluded from the UCPA. Data controllers must provide consumers with reasonable, accessible, and clear privacy notice. Controllers must establish and maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical data security practices to protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal data and reduce reasonably foreseeable risks of harm to consumers relating to the processing of personal data.

Connecticut Data Privacy Act (Effective July 1, 2023)

The Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”) defines “Consumer” as a Connecticut resident and excludes persons acting in a commercial or employment context. The “Sale of Personal Data” refers to the exchange of personal data for monetary or other consideration by the controller to a third party.

Personal data excludes any deidentified data or publicly available information, where publicly available information means information that is lawfully made available through government records or widely distributed media and a controller has a reasonable basis to believe a consumer has lawfully made available to the general public.

Under the CTDPA, Connecticut consumers are provided with (1) the right to access; (2) right to correct; (3) right to delete; (4) right to data portability; and (5) right to opt out of the sharing of any Personal Data.

Colorado Privacy Act (Effective July 1, 2023)

Under the CPA, “Consumers” are defined as residents acting in their individual or household contexts and excludes individuals acting in a commercial or employment capacity, job applicants, and beneficiaries of someone acting in an employment context from its definition of “consumer.” “Personal Data” is defined to mean information that is linked or reasonably linkable to an identified or identifiable individual. The CPA does not extend to deidentified data or publicly available information.

Under the CPA, businesses will need to provide consumers with clear privacy notices and conduct data protection assessments for any personal data processing that presents a heightened risk of harm to consumers. Consumers are afforded the right to opt out of the processing personal data for targeted advertising or for the sale of personal data and provides a “user-selected universal opt-out mechanism.”
