CPA
Colorado Privacy Act
Lei no estilo da Virgínia com regras detalhadas do Procurador-Geral, incluindo a exigência de respeitar sinais universais de opt-out.
The law in brief
The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) is Colorado's comprehensive consumer privacy law. It has been in effect since 1 July 2023. Like the other state laws built on the same model, it gives Colorado residents rights over their personal data and puts duties on the businesses that decide how that data is used (controllers) and on the vendors that handle it for them (processors).
Lei no estilo da Virgínia com regras detalhadas do Procurador-Geral, incluindo a exigência de respeitar sinais universais de opt-out.
Colorado's law applies to nonprofit organizations as well as businesses, and the Attorney General's detailed rules add requirements, including on universal opt-out signals and data protection assessments.
A quem se aplica
- Empresas que tratam dados pessoais de residentes do estado acima dos limites da lei. Os limites, as isenções e as regras sobre dados sensíveis variam por estado.
- The thresholds usually turn on how many Colorado residents' personal data a business handles in a year, and whether it earns revenue from selling personal data. Check the statute for the exact figures.
- Like most state privacy laws, it exempts some organizations and data, commonly including data already covered by HIPAA or the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and data about people acting in an employment or commercial capacity.
What it requires
A clear privacy notice
Publish a privacy notice describing the categories of personal data you process, why, what you share and with whom, how consumers can use their rights, and how to appeal.
Collect only what you need
Limit collection to what is adequate, relevant and reasonably necessary for the purposes you disclosed, and secure it with reasonable safeguards.
Dados sensíveis
Get the consumer's opt-in consent before processing sensitive data, such as health information, biometric or genetic data, precise geolocation, and data about a known child (for whom parental consent is needed).
Contracts with processors
Bind each processor by contract to your instructions, confidentiality, deletion or return at the end of the service, and help with audits and assessments.
Honor opt-outs
Stop targeted advertising, sales and, where covered, qualifying profiling for consumers who opt out, and check whether the law requires you to honor universal opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control.
Data protection assessments
Document an assessment before processing that presents a heightened risk, such as targeted advertising, selling personal data, processing sensitive data, and certain profiling.
Direitos das pessoas
Colorado residents can generally ask a business to confirm and access their personal data, correct it, delete it and get a copy in a portable format, and can opt out of targeted advertising, the sale of their data, and profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects. Businesses generally have 45 days to respond, extendable once. Residents can usually appeal a refusal.
Enforcement and penalties
Aplicada pelo Procurador-Geral do Colorado e pelos promotores distritais. As violações estão sujeitas a penalidades civis definidas pela lei.
What to do first
- Check the thresholds against your Colorado consumer numbers and any data sales.
- Map the personal and sensitive data you hold about Colorado residents.
- Update your privacy notice and add the opt-out routes the law requires.
- Set up requests and appeals within the response deadlines.
- Put CPA-ready terms in processor contracts.
- Build one program for all state laws, then add Colorado's departures.
