For example, the Connecticut Act adopts almost word for word large parts of Colorado and Virginia`s laws, including the definition of personal information, the handling of sensitive personal information, and the conduct of Privacy Impact Assessments. Utah`s law is more limited because of its narrow definition of personal information and high thresholds for determining which companies must comply with it.

As states push privacy legislation, members of Congress continue to introduce their own federal privacy laws, some of which focus on children`s privacy. Most recently, Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) introduced the Child Online Safety Act in February 2022. This law, which targets big tech companies, requires social media platforms to provide children with tools to protect their personal information and provides proprietary algorithms for researchers investigating harm to the safety and well-being of minors. Other children`s privacy laws, such as Senator Ed Markey`s (D-MA) Children and Youth Online Privacy Protection Act, would amend the Children`s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Markey`s bill extends COPPA`s age limit from 13 to 16 and prohibits targeted advertising to children. The Protecting the Information of Our Vulnerable Children and Teens Act, introduced by Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fl), raises the age limit to 18 and expands the COPPA standard for “real knowledge” to cover online services that are “targeted or appealing to children.” We are committed to helping businesses around the world demonstrate how best to protect the privacy of their customers` personal information.

To set the goal of a uniform national standard, most companies agree that new federal data protection laws, such as those mentioned above, must explicitly anticipate state and local laws. The business community also refuses to create a private right of action, preferring instead strict enforcement by a central federal agency like the FTC, with attorneys general also endowed with enforcement powers.
