The Latest US Privacy Law News

May 5, 2022 by Debbie Campbell Leave a Comment

On April 28th, the Connecticut legislature passed its new Connecticut Data Privacy Act, which is now going before the governor. It’s based on the Colorado Privacy Act which became law in July 2021. Here are some key features of the Connecticut Act:

  • Consumer approval is required for managing sensitive data
  • Controllers have to allow consumers to later withdraw consent
  • Opt-out regulations are very strict
  • Childrens’ data privacy rights match California’s.

If passed, Connecticut will become the fifth state having passed broad consumer data privacy bills. The others are Colorado, California, Virginia and Utah. More on the new Act here.

Eleven other US states currently have privacy bills in progress:

  • Alaska
  • Louisiana
  • Massachusetts
  • Michigan
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • North Carolina
  • Ohio
  • Pennsylvania
  • Rhode Island
  • Vermont

The importance of having a comprehensive, up-to-date privacy policy on US-based websites is at an all-time high. That’s why WP Minder offers our dynamic privacy policy/cookie policy tool for our Care Plan clients. Contact us for more information.

Weekly Links Roundup – CDNs, Event Calendar Plugins, Privacy Policies, Photography Blogs

June 1, 2018 by Debbie Campbell Leave a Comment

This week’s WordPress and web marketing links.

WP Minder’s VPS hosting plan includes a free CDN – but what exactly is a Content Delivery Network? It’s about distance for sure (having your content delivered by a server near your site visitor’s physical location can decrease loading times) but it can also be about security and bandwidth. Learn more about CDNs from Yoast.

If you’re wanting to add an events calendar to your site, here’s a review of 9 event calendar plugins, including both free and commercial options. I used My Calendar recently on the Colorado Sound site to help them manage an extensive concert calender – take a look.

So GDPR (the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation) went into effect on May 25 and the world didn’t explode. Not yet, anyway. If you haven’t yet taken the time to craft a privacy policy page for your website, here’s a basic guide to privacy policies (note that this article doesn’t constitute legal advice).

Finally… a subject near and dear to my heart. If you’re a photographer, even an amateur one, you should seriously consider starting a photography blog. Here’s why.
