Overview

What is the Colorado Privacy Act?

The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) is one of the strictest US state privacy laws in terms of penalty size. It covers businesses of all sizes that process data on Colorado residents, requires opt-out mechanisms for targeted advertising, and mandates data protection assessments for high-risk processing.
