IT’S THE LAW (04/26/2022)
Connecticut’s Senate unanimously approved a Data Privacy Bill, which now moves to the House. If it passes there, it puts Connecticut on track to be the fifth US state privacy law – and it would be one of the strongest consumer protections in the US. It includes rights for consumers to see what’s being collected and to opt out of sharing. It also increases the age limit for youth data protection – up to age 16 from 13, below which young people would need to opt in for data collection.
