Episode 90 — Virginia CDPA: Consumer Data Protection Act Essentials

Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act (CDPA) established one of the first comprehensive state privacy frameworks outside California. This episode reviews its applicability thresholds, consumer rights, and obligations for controllers and processors. We’ll also discuss how the CDPA balances business flexibility with consumer protections.

We’ll highlight how the CDPA differs from California’s laws, including its opt-in requirements for sensitive data and lack of a private right of action. For the exam, understanding these distinctions is critical for analyzing state privacy law questions. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
