What Is The Colorado Privacy Act?

In July 2021, the Colorado Privacy Act was passed and is scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2023. A number of rights are given to Colorado residents with respect to their personal information under the Colorado Privacy Act.

In accordance with the CPA, covered entities are required to disclose to individuals what personal data they collect and process, why the data is processed, and with whom the data is shared. Additionally, individuals have the right to access, correct, delete, and opt out of the processing of their personal data.

The CPA applies to businesses that operate in Colorado or target Colorado residents. The law applies to entities that control or process the personal data of 100,000 or more Colorado residents per year, generate revenue from the sale of personal data, or process or control the data of 25,000 or more consumers.

Who Needs To Meet Compliance With The CPA?

Organizations that process or control personal information of Colorado residents may be required to comply with the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA). The CPA applies to both controllers and processors of personal data. Controllers are defined as individuals or entities that decide the purpose and means of personal data processing, either alone or jointly with others. The term processor refers to a person or entity that processes personal data on behalf of a controller.

  • If you are a controller or processor who operates in Colorado or targets Colorado residents and meets one or both of the following criteria, you are required to comply with the CPA:
  • Control or process 100,000 or more Colorado residents' personal information in a calendar year or
  • Manage or process the personal data of 25,000 or more Colorado residents and generate revenue or receive discounts on goods and services as a result.

    • Several types of entities are excluded from the CPA, including those subject to certain federal privacy laws, non-profit organizations, and small businesses with gross revenue under $25 million.

    How To Become Compliant With The CPA?

    Organizations and businesses that comply with the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) must take certain steps to protect the personal data of Colorado residents. The following steps can be taken by businesses to become compliant with the CPA:

  • Business practices should be reviewed to determine what, why, and how personal data is collected, processed, and shared.
  • Businesses should develop and implement policies and procedures regarding how personal data is collected, used, stored, and deleted.
  • Privacy notices should be updated to provide clear, concise information to individuals about how personal data is processed.
  • Businesses must provide individual rights to Colorado residents, including the right to access, correct, delete, and opt-out of the processing of their personal data.
  • Businesses should train their employees on data privacy best practices, including how to identify and respond to data privacy breaches.
  • Businesses may need to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) to oversee data privacy practices and ensure compliance.
  • Regularly auditing data privacy practices can help identify areas that require improvement or correction.

    log management for CPA

    Log Management For The CPA

    As part of Colorado Privacy Act compliance, log management is essential. In order to comply with the CPA, covered entities must keep accurate and current records of all their data processing activities, including logs of personal data processing activities.

    To comply with the Colorado Privacy Act, businesses can implement log management as follows:

    It is essential for businesses to determine the types of logs they need to maintain based on the types of personal data they collect, store, and process.

    After identifying the relevant data, businesses need to define the logging requirements. Determine what events should be logged, how frequently logs should be generated, and how long logs should be retained.

    It is also crucial that businesses implement a system that meets the defined requirements. The data may be automatically captured and stored using logging software or tools such as Logit.io.

    To ensure compliance with the Colorado Privacy Act and the recommendations listed above, businesses should monitor their logging processes and review them regularly. By identifying gaps in their logging processes, businesses can take appropriate measures to address them. Putting in place a robust log management system such as the one offered by Logit.io allows businesses to comply with the Colorado Privacy Act and protect the personal information of Colorado residents.

    Audit Log Management For The CPA

    In addition to overall log management, audit log management can also be considered a crucial component of compliance with the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), since it allows businesses to keep accurate records of data processing activities. Data privacy incidents can also be identified and investigated using audit logs. In order to comply with the Colorado Privacy Act and protect the personal data of Colorado residents, businesses should use an audit log management system (which Logit.io provides by default).
