Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) 2023
The CPRA (effective January 1, 2023) expands upon the CCPA, strengthening consumer data privacy rights by establishing the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and adding new provisions regarding sensitive personal information and data sharing.
This policy necessitates robust data handling, consent management, and disclosure practices for AffinityX's clients operating in California, impacting targeting and data collection strategies.
Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Enforcement on Dark Patterns 2022
The FTC has increased its focus and enforcement actions against 'dark patterns,' deceptive design practices in user interfaces that trick or manipulate consumers into making unintended choices, particularly concerning subscriptions and data sharing.
This pushes AffinityX and its clients to ensure transparency and ethical design in all digital marketing assets and user flows, especially for subscription services and data opt-ins.
State Privacy Laws (e.g., Virginia CDPA, Colorado CPA, Utah UCPA, Connecticut CTDPA) 2023-2024
Several U.S. states have enacted comprehensive privacy laws similar to CCPA/CPRA (e.g., Virginia CDPA effective Jan 1, 2023; Colorado CPA effective July 1, 2023; Utah UCPA effective Dec 31, 2023; Connecticut CTDPA effective July 1, 2023), creating a patchwork of state-level data privacy regulations.
AffinityX and its clients must navigate and comply with a complex and evolving landscape of state-specific privacy laws, requiring adaptable consent and data management frameworks.
