A Comprehensive View of the Five State Privacy Laws Coming into Effect in 2023

Over the last two years, many states have taken cues from California and the EU by adopting sweeping privacy laws. These laws, passed in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah, as well as updates to the already enacted California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), are focused on providing consumers (and soon employees in some states) better information about how their data is used, more control over their data and imposing additional requirements on companies to protect consumer personal information.

Similarities and Differences in the New Laws

While each law should be reviewed to understand their specific requirements, each has similar provisions related to requiring companies to:

  • Implement reasonable security measures;
  • Share data with third parties only when those third parties are subject to specific contractual requirements limiting their own uses of the data; and
  • Provide clear privacy notices that must include details of the collection and use of data.

Most of the new laws also give state regulators broad authority to pursue enforcements for violations of the law.
