Last week, Alaska joined the growing number of states considering comprehensive consumer privacy legislation when, at the behest of Governor Dunleavy, the Consumer Data Privacy Act was introduced in both chambers of the Alaska legislature. If enacted, the Act would become effective on January 1, 2023.
The Act is modeled after the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and provides consumers certain rights and imposes obligations on businesses that collect consumers personal information. Although similar to the CCPA in many respects, it diverges from the CCPA in some significant ways that would pose compliance challenges for businesses.

With a dizzying array of state privacy laws on the horizon, the prospect of a federal solution has come into sharp focus. Rather than a patchwork of regional legislation, a comprehensive national framework would potentially govern the precautions that companies must take when electronically collecting, using and storing customers’ personal information, regardless of where in the country the company or the consumer is located. That is the current situation in the European Union under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and has been for many years. It might one day be the case in the United States as well, if advocates of omnibus federal data privacy legislation have their way.

Data privacy is an ongoing hot topic. Since the European Union’s General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) became effective in 2018, many nations have followed suit and passed or proposed laws providing consumers with more control over their data. While the U.S. is trailing behind with no comprehensive national privacy law in the works, states are forging their own path. In 2018, California passed a state privacy law with features similar to the GDPR that became effective last January. Predictably, other states have been working on their own privacy laws. As more individual states create privacy policies, it is crucial that organization stay apprised of developments. While managing compliance obligations can seem like a daunting task, planning ahead and creating solid policies can simplify the process.

The recent passage of the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) has ushered in the first agency in the United States created for the sole purpose of protecting the privacy rights of Californians: the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”). The CPPA will have the full administrative power, authority, and jurisdiction to implement and enforce the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and the CPRA. Because of the potential for exposure due to violations, businesses should familiarize themselves with the new law and the accompanying requirements before enforcement commences. The CPPA is governed by a five-member board, consisting of Jennifer M. Urban, John Christopher Thompson, Angela Sierra, Lydia de la Torre, and Vinhcent Le, whose appointments were recently announced. The CPPA will have three main functions: education, rulemaking, and enforcement. Below is a synopsis of the CPPA’s predominant functi
