Virginia Becomes the Second US State with a Comprehensive Privacy Law
Governor Ralph Northam has signed the Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA), making Virginia the second state with a comprehensive privacy law.
The CDPA is inspired by both the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and takes effect Jan. 1, 2023.
The law grants consumers rights to access, correct, delete and obtain a copy of personal data and to opt out of the sale of personal data, the processing of personal data for the purposes of targeted advertising and profiling (automated decision-making).
