Connecticut's First Privacy Fine Signals Start of New Enforcement
Connecticut has issued its first public fine under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA), signaling a shift from passive regulation to active enforcement. TicketNetwork was fined $85,000 for failing to meet basic compliance requirements, such as clear privacy notices and honoring opt-out requests. This landmark action marks the end of the CTDPA’s grace period and foreshadows more aggressive enforcement across the U.S. For enterprises, it’s a warning: state privacy laws are no longer theoretical—they’re operational risks demanding immediate attention and proactive management.
