Connecticut Data Privacy Laws: CTDPA Consumer Rights Guide (2026)

Updates

Corrected the third-party disclosure right to reflect that the statutory fallback is a list of all third parties rather than categories, and clarified that the $5,000 CTDPA penalty is a Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act penalty available only for violations a court finds wilful.

Updated this page to reflect that Connecticut's lowered CTDPA thresholds (35,000 consumers, or any volume for sensitive-data processing or data sales) took effect July 1, 2026 and are now current law; corrected the Insurance Data Security Law's small-business exemption to Connecticut's actual employee-count-only test; fixed the date of the multistate Global Privacy Control enforcement sweep to September 2025; expanded the data breach notification law's personal-information list; and added the CTDPA's right to obtain a list of third-party data purchasers.
