With 3 States Changing Their Privacy Laws, More than Half the US Population Is Now Covered
The changes lower business coverage thresholds, extend teen protections and add a correction right as state privacy laws now cover more than half the U.S. population.
- Starting July 1, Connecticut, Arkansas, and Utah expanded state privacy laws, joining a patchwork of 20 state regulations that now cover more than half the U.S. population.
- Arkansas activated the Online Privacy Protection Act, becoming the first state to extend core federal Children privacy protections beyond kids under 13 to include Teens, with Enforcement pursuing penalties up to $10,000 per violation.
- Connecticut lowered its privacy law threshold from 100,000 to 35,000 residents—a 65% cut—while expanding sensitive data definitions to include neural data from wearable devices and disability status information.
- Residents in Utah gained the right to correct inaccurate personal data, joining most other states in providing this protection; businesses face up to $7,500 in penalties after failing to respond within 45 days.
- Since state privacy laws apply based on where customers live rather than business headquarters, these changes affect many Small businesses, which comprise 99.4% of Connecticut's workforce according to the Small Business Administration.
