What it requires

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

CTDPA gives a Connecticut consumer the right to confirm processing, access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, and opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and qualifying profiling. A controller must respond without undue delay and no later than 45 days after receipt, with one 45-day extension available.

Public Act 25-113 (S.B. 1295, 2025 session, effective July 1, 2026) removed the 'solely automated' qualifier so the profiling opt-out and a new right to contest automated-decision outcomes reach decisions with human involvement, and its Sec. 11 (amending section 42-522) adds a new impact-assessment requirement for such profiling applying to processing activities created or generated on or after August 1, 2026, confirmed against the enrolled act's own text.
