How is the CTDPA different from other US state privacy laws?

Connecticut has enforced its privacy law, including in a settlement with TicketNetwork. The CTDPA includes recognition of qualifying universal opt-out mechanisms and data protection assessment requirements.

Does the CTDPA apply to my organisation?

The CTDPA applies, subject to exemptions, to people or organisations that meet any of these tests: they conduct business in Connecticut or target its residents and controlled or processed personal data of at least 35,000 consumers in the preceding calendar year; they control or process consumers' sensitive data; or they offer consumers' personal data for sale in trade or commerce. Data processed solely to complete payment transactions is excluded from the first two tests. Separate rules for consumer health data controllers also apply.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

The Connecticut Attorney General enforces the CTDPA under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. For a wilful violation, the Attorney General may seek a civil penalty of up to $5,000 per violation through the court. Other remedies may also apply.
