What is the Connecticut Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring Act (“CTDPA”)?
Connecticut passed the Connecticut Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring Act (“CTDPA”), will take effect on July 1, 2023. With the passing of this new law, Connecticut becomes the fifth state to enact a consumer data privacy law. The CTDPA is similar to the California, Connecticut, Colorado, and Utah but it is most similar to the Connecticut Consumer Data Privacy Act and the Colorado Privacy Act in that they are more consumer oriented.
The CTDPA gives Connecticut residents the rights to access, correct, delete, and opt-out of certain data processing. The enforcement is entirely up to the Attorney General and there is no private right of action for consumers.
The CTDPA does not contain a revenue threshold an entity will not become subject to the law due to its annual revenues or by exceeding a certain revenue requirement. However, the CTDPA’s 25 percent gross revenue obtained from data sales threshold is a substantial difference from the 50 percent gross revenue limit found in the Connecticut and Utah laws. Which means that more companies are likely to find themselves covered by the Connecticut law.
