Together, these updates represent some of the most significant changes to the CTDPA since it took effect.<\/p>\n<p>The amendments introduce new rules for data brokers, prohibit the sale of precise geolocation data, restrict certain forms of personalized pricing, and create new protections for genetic information.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>New Rules for Data Brokers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Key dates<\/strong>: Registration begins January 1, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses that sell or license personal data to third parties may soon face a new compliance regime in Connecticut.<\/p>\n<p>Under the amendments, a &#8220;data broker&#8221; is generally a business that sells or licenses personal data that has been organized or categorized for third-party use.<\/p>\n<p>Key requirements include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Annual registration<\/strong>. Beginning January 1, 2027, data brokers must register with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) and pay an annual fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Public listing<\/strong>. Registration information will be published by the DCP.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Universal deletion requests<\/strong>. By July 2028, Connecticut must launch a single deletion portal that allows consumers to submit one request to all registered data brokers at once.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deletion obligations<\/strong>. Starting in October 2028, data brokers will be required to regularly check the portal, honor deletion requests, and pass those requests on to service providers and downstream recipients where applicable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Independent audits<\/strong>. Beginning in 2031, registered data brokers must undergo third-party compliance audits every three years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Certain organizations already regulated under laws such as HIPAA, GLBA, FCRA, and DPPA are exempt from these requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The penalties can be substantial: violations may result in fines of up to $200 per day, per consumer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Privacy Law Changes Take Effect October 1, 2026<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Several updates will affect businesses already subject to the CTDPA.\u00a0&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/connecticut-overhauls-its-privacy-law-4270090\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Connecticut Overhauls Its Privacy Law: What Businesses Need to Know | Mintz &#8211; Privacy &#038;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":267439,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/jdsupra-static.s3.amazonaws.com\/profile-images\/og.13281_5851.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[105],"class_list":["post-267438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy","tag-connecticut-data-privacy-act"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267438"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267438"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267438\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":267440,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267438\/revisions\/267440"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
