Master Data Privacy Regulations with the Colorado Privacy Act
As data privacy continues to be a growing concern, the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) establishes a crucial legal framework to safeguard the personal data of Colorado residents. This article provides a detailed look at the CPA, who it impacts, and how Cocoon CS can support your compliance efforts.
What is the CPA?
The CPA, which went into effect on July 1, 2023, provides Colorado residents with extensive rights over their data and places significant obligations on businesses. Under the CPA, consumers can access, correct, delete, and obtain copies of their data. Additionally, they can opt out of data processing for targeted advertising or the sale of their information. Businesses are required to conduct data protection assessments, ensure data minimization and security, maintain transparent privacy notices, and apply stricter rules when handling sensitive data.
Who is Affected by the CPA?
The CPA applies to companies operating in Colorado that handle data for 100,000 or more consumers annually or those that sell personal data and process data for 25,000 or more consumers each year. This includes Colorado-based businesses and those targeting Colorado residents through their products or services
