Colorado Data Privacy Laws: CPA Consumer Rights Guide (2026)

Updates

Corrected the Colorado Privacy Act citation range to C.R.S. sections 6-1-1301 to 6-1-1314, cited and corrected the codified biometric rules in section 6-1-1314, noted that the per-page access-request fee does not apply to records delivered electronically, and added the statutory limit of two data portability requests per calendar year.

Corrected the older-adult penalty threshold from 65 to 60, removed a children's-data penalty tier that does not exist in Colorado law, and added two omissions: a 60-day cure-notice requirement that stays mandatory for minors'-data enforcement through December 31, 2026, and a threshold-free applicability rule for the CPA's minors'-data provisions alongside the existing biometric-data carve-out.
