Colorado Privacy Act
Colorado's CCPA-shaped privacy law, with a hard requirement to honour Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms like Global Privacy Control as of July 2024.
What it is
The Colorado Privacy Act, effective 1 July 2023. Grants Colorado residents access, deletion, correction, portability, and opt-out rights, plus opt-in consent for sensitive data. Crucially, Colorado was the first U.S. state to require recognition of Universal Opt-Out Mechanisms (UOOMs) — enforced as of 1 July 2024.
Why it matters
Civil penalties up to $20,000 per violation under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. The UOOM requirement means a site must respect GPC and similar browser-level opt-out signals — not just a button in your footer.
Who it applies to
Colorado residents — applies to controllers processing 100K+ Colorado consumers, or 25K+ where any revenue is derived from selling personal data.
