Connecticut has significantly expanded and toughened its consumer privacy law that includes new obligations on data controllers. Under Senate Bill 1295 (Public Act 25-113), sweeping amendments to the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) took effect on July 1, 2026, with one key obligation – a new profiling impact assessment – following on August 1, 2026. The amendments widen who must comply, broaden the data the law protects, and add new obligations around profiling, artificial intelligence, minors’ data, and privacy disclosures.
