Connecticut Attorney General William Tong issued an advisory that newly enacted privacy laws take effect October 1, 2026, including Public Act 26-64 (SB4), which amends the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, and Public Act 26-15 (SB5), which established the Connecticut Artificial Intelligence Responsibility and Transparency Act (CART Act). The new laws regulate surveillance pricing, facial recognition technology, genetic data collected by direct-to-consumer testing companies, a ban on the sale of precise geolocation data, a data broker registry, AI use in employment decisions, and chatbots offered to children. No enforcement action was taken; this is prospective guidance alerting consumers and businesses to new rights and compliance requirements.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced a civil investigative demand into MediaLab.AI Inc., owner of the Kik Messenger app, over lax age assurance practices, content moderation, and child safety failures that advocates have dubbed a "predator's paradise." The action follows a July 2025 notice of violation under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act for privacy notice deficiencies and processing sensitive data — including health, biometric, and precise geolocation data — without proper consent, which the company has only partially addressed. The new investigation seeks records related to practices that may constitute unfair or deceptive acts or practices under the CTDPA and the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. No fine has been imposed to date.
The Connecticut Office of the Attorney General released an updated enforcement report on the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (CTDPA) for 2024, summarizing investigations into companies handling connected vehicles, genetic data, palm recognition, teen messaging apps, and facial recognition. The report outlines expanded enforcement priorities around opt-out practices and dark patterns, and includes legislative recommendations to strengthen the CTDPA.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong urged residents to enroll in free credit monitoring and identity theft protection following the Change Healthcare cyberattack in February 2024, which exposed sensitive health data. The breach potentially impacted up to one-third of Americans, but Change Healthcare has failed to provide individual notice to affected consumers. The AG joined other attorneys general in April 2024 to demand that UnitedHealth Group take more meaningful action to protect those harmed.
Connecticut Attorney General William Tong joined a coalition of 19 attorneys general in a letter to congressional leaders urging federal legislation to protect reproductive healthcare access post-Dobbs. The letter proposes measures including requiring insurance plans to cover abortion, eliminating the Hyde Amendment, protecting medication abortion, and strengthening data privacy laws to prevent surveillance of reproductive health data and geofencing near clinics.
