Impactful Policy Frameworks
California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) 2023
The CPRA expanded upon the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), granting consumers more control over their personal data, including the right to correct inaccurate personal information and to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information.
It requires digital marketing agencies to implement stricter data handling practices and obtain explicit consent for certain data uses, impacting targeting strategies and data collection methods.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Revisions (Ongoing Discussions)
While COPPA was enacted in 1998, there are ongoing discussions and potential revisions by the FTC to address new digital technologies and better protect children's privacy online, particularly concerning data collection in educational tech and gaming.
Potential revisions could impose stricter rules on data collection from minors, affecting content and advertising strategies aimed at younger audiences and requiring agencies to verify user age more rigorously.
Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) 2023
Effective January 1, 2023, the VCDPA grants Virginia residents certain rights regarding their personal data, including the right to access, delete, and opt-out of the sale of personal data, and requires businesses to conduct data protection assessments.
Agencies must enhance data transparency, provide clear opt-out mechanisms for data processing, and potentially conduct more rigorous data protection assessments for campaigns targeting Virginia residents.
