Colorado’s Attorney General, Phil Weiser, gave a speech for Data Privacy Day that talks about Colorado’s Privacy Act and its provisions with respect to both privacy and data security.
It is a speech worth reading, especially if you want an overview of what is coming your way in Colorado.
With three states now having state laws, you’d think Congress would be under more pressure to have one federal law, but given how dysfunctional Congress is and how much money is spent — including by data brokers and media outlets — lobbying them not to seriously protect our privacy and data security, I’m not holding my breath. Thank goodness some states keep pushing forward to protect consumers and to hold entities accountable.
