The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), introduced by the EU in 2016 and implemented in 2018, has become a global benchmark for data privacy laws. In the United States, several states have enacted similar legislation, including California's CCPA, Virginia's CDPA, Colorado's CPA, Connecticut's CTDPA, and Utah's UCPA. By 2024, additional states like Montana, Florida, Texas, Oregon, and Delaware have also implemented data privacy laws. These regulations significantly impact businesses that collect, process, or store personal data, necessitating compliance to avoid violations and penalties. Notable cases like Google's agreement to purge billions of records from Chrome's "Incognito" mode users and TikTok's $92 million settlement for unauthorized data sharing underscore the importance of adhering to these laws.
