What is CTDPA?
The Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) is a state-wide law that grants Connecticut consumers greater control over their personal data and imposes obligations on businesses operating in the state. The Act was passed on May 10, 2022, and takes effect on July 1, 2023.
Where does the CPA apply to?
The Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) applies to businesses in Connecticut or those targeting its residents, handling personal data of at least 100,000 consumers or processing data for 25,000 consumers while earning over 25% of revenue from data sales. Personal data used solely for payment transactions is exempt.

What Are the Possible Reasons for CTDPA Penalties?
The four categories of invasion of privacy, outlined in the Restatement (Second) of Torts, include unreasonable intrusion into someone's private affairs, appropriation of someone's name or likeness, excessive publicity of someone's private life, and publicity that places someone in a false light before the public.
Who is Liable for CTDPA Penalties?
Entities or individuals that violate the CTDPA may face civil penalties, under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. In addition to civil penalties, the Attorney General can also seek injunctive relief, restitution, and/or disgorgement.
