Difference between CDPA, CCPA, CPRA and CPA

Know the difference between Virginia's CDPA CCPA CPRA and CPA - Mandatly Inc.

Understanding CDPA, CPA, CCPA & CPRA

On March 2, 2021, Governor Ralph Northam signed the Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA) into law making Virginia the second state to adopt a comprehensive consumer privacy law, after California. It draws heavily from the proposed Washington Privacy Act and brings together concepts from the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). The law is in operation with effect from January 1, 2023.

In June 2018, the CCPA was signed into law, creating new privacy rights for Californians and significant new data protection obligations for businesses. The CPRA, a ballot initiative that amends the CCPA and includes additional privacy protections for consumers passed on November 3, 2020. Most provisions are not operative until Jan. 1, 2023.

The Colorado General Assembly passed the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), Senate Bill 21-109, on June 8, 2021. Colorado’s governor, Jared Polis signed the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”) into law on July 7th, 2021. It will be effective from July 1, 2023.
