What is the Colorado Privacy Act? 

The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) mirrors the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) with a couple of differences. Colorado’s CPA does not apply to (1) data collected in the context of business interactions or (2) data of employees, applicants and their beneficiaries. The CPA applies to “controllers” that conduct business or produce commercial products or services that are intentionally targeted to “consumers” and that either:

1. Control or process “personal data” of at least 100,000 “consumers” per calendar year; or
2. Derive revenue from the “sale” of “personal data” and control or process the personal data of at least 25,000 “consumers.”
