This course gives your team practical guidance on the Colorado Privacy Act. We cover who the law applies to, what rights Colorado residents have, the universal opt-out mechanism, sensitive data, and what happens when things go wrong.

The CPA's general statutory cure period ended on January 1, 2025. The course explains enforcement and practical steps for responding to concerns. No technical background required - just focused, practical training your team can apply immediately.

The CPA generally applies to controllers that conduct business in Colorado or target Colorado residents and either control or process the personal data of at least 100,000 consumers in a calendar year, or control or process data of at least 25,000 consumers and derive revenue or receive a discount on goods or services from selling personal data. Statutory exemptions apply.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

The Colorado Attorney General and district attorneys can enforce the CPA and seek civil penalties and court orders. The general civil penalty can be up to $20,000 per violation.
