What is the Colorado Privacy Act?
The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) is a comprehensive consumer privacy law that gives Colorado residents greater control over how businesses collect, use, and share their personal information.
The law became effective on July 1, 2023, and establishes privacy rights for consumers while placing certain responsibilities on businesses that meet the law's applicability thresholds.
Does the Colorado Privacy Act apply to my business?
The CPA generally applies to businesses that conduct business in Colorado or target Colorado residents and meet specific legal thresholds related to the processing of personal data.
Unlike California's privacy laws, the Colorado Privacy Act does not apply to every business. Whether the law applies depends on your organization's activities and how personal information is collected and processed.
If you're unsure whether your business is subject to the CPA, consult qualified legal counsel.
What rights do Colorado consumers have?
The Colorado Privacy Act provides consumers with several important rights, including:
• The right to access personal data.
• The right to correct inaccurate personal data.
• The right to delete personal data.
• The right to obtain a copy of personal data.
• The right to opt out of certain types of data processing, including targeted advertising, the sale of personal data, and certain profiling activities.

What does this mean for your website?
Every website is different.
Some organizations may only need to review their privacy policies. Others may benefit from implementing a Consent Management Platform (CMP), configuring Google Consent Mode, reviewing third-party technologies, or updating how visitor information is collected.
Understanding which privacy requirements apply depends on your business, your website, and the technologies you use.
