Cybersecurity Policy Report, CPPA, State AGs Join Forces on Privacy Enforcement, (Apr 16, 2025)
The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) has joined forces with attorneys general from seven states “to share expertise and resources, as well as coordinate efforts to investigate potential violations of applicable laws,” the CPPA announced today.
The Consortium of Privacy Regulators has been formalized with a memorandum of understanding (MoU) “outlining the group’s goals, including facilitating discussions of privacy law developments and shared priorities, with a focus on consumer protection across jurisdictions,” the agency said in a news release.
The consortium’s membership includes AGs from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, New Jersey, and Oregon.
“Although each state has its own law, they all share certain fundamental features to protect privacy with rights to access, delete, and stop the sale of personal information, and similar obligations on businesses,” the CPPA noted.
“These similarities pave the way for like-minded applications across jurisdictions and give the Consortium the ability to work together on a common goal of promoting the privacy rights of consumers,” it added.
“We've seen firsthand how misuse of data can harm Californians, whether it’s information about their health, location, kids, identity, and more,” said Michael Macko, the CPPA’s head of enforcement. “We're proud to collaborate with states across the country to advance consistent, streamlined enforcement of privacy protections to address real-world privacy harms.”
