What the Mandate Requires
U.S. state privacy laws share a common architecture: organizations must publish a compliant privacy policy, honor consumer rights requests (access, correction, deletion, portability, opt-out), conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) for high-risk processing activities, execute data processing agreements with vendors, maintain consent records, implement reasonable security measures, and notify affected individuals of data breaches within required timeframes.
| Statutory Reference | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 | California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) — consumer rights and business obligations |
| C.R.S. § 6-1-1301 | Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) — data protection requirements and consumer rights |
| Va. Code § 59.1-571 | Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) — data protection and DPIAs |
| Tex. Bus. & Com. Code § 541 | Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) — consumer rights and business obligations |
| FTC Act § 5 | Unfair or deceptive acts and practices — federal enforcement for privacy policy misrepresentations |
