Connecticut Privacy Law

State consumer privacy enforcers have been turning up the heat on recalcitrant data controllers that have incomplete, inadequate or broken consumer privacy law (CPL) protection programs.  On July 8, the Office of the Attorney General of Connecticut (CT OAG) announced a settlement with TicketNetwork, Inc related to deficiencies in the company’s privacy notice and non-compliance with consumer rights requirements. This came just a week following California’s announcement of its largest consumer privacy law settlement to date — US $1.55 million, involving an online publisher known as Healthline. A post breaking that case down will follow shortly.  Today we look at the Connecticut case.Continue Reading Connecticut’s Recent Privacy Settlement Shows that Organizations Should Remain Cognizant of Privacy Law Obligations Outside of California

For example, under SB 6, the terms “controller,” “processor,” and “personal data” have similar definitions as under the CPA, CDPA, and UCPA.
