What is the purpose of a cure provision in a stale data privacy law?
A cure provision in state data privacy laws gives businesses an opportunity to remediate violations of the law within a specified timeframe after receiving notice of the alleged violation. This provision is intended to promote compliance rather than immediately imposing penalties or enforcement actions.
Key Aspects of Cure Provisions:
Notice and Cure Period:
Businesses are given a timeframe (e.g., 30 days) to address the alleged violation before formal enforcement actions are taken by state authorities.
Encouraging Compliance:
Cure provisions incentivize businesses to implement corrective actions and ensure compliance without incurring fines or penalties for minor or first-time violations.
State-Specific Examples:
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) initially included a 30-day cure provision, though it was later limited under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
Other state laws, such as Virginia's Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), also include cure provisions.
Explanation of Options:
A. To allow a business a limited timeframe to fix alleged violations before facing enforcement: This is correct. Cure provisions are specifically designed to give businesses an opportunity to address violations before facing enforcement actions.
B. To allow consumers a period of time to discover their data has been mishandled: This describes consumer rights related to data breach notifications, not cure provisions.
C. To allow a state to initiate formal enforcement actions for a fixed time period: Cure provisions delay enforcement actions rather than initiate them.
D. To allow certain provisions of a law to expire after a defined time period: This describes sunset provisions, not cure provisions.

The use of cookies on a website by a service provider is generally not deemed a 'sale' of personal information by CCPA, as long as which of the following conditions is met?
Which of the following conditions would NOT be sufficient to excuse an entity from providing breach notification under state law?
While compliance with the Safeguards Rule helps in preventing breaches and ensuring data security, it does not necessarily exempt an entity from having to provide breach notifications as required by state laws. State breach notification laws typically have their own criteria for when notification is required, which may include factors like the type of data compromised, the potential risk of harm to individuals, and other circumstances surrounding the breach. While following the GLBA Safeguards Rule may demonstrate a commitment to data security, it doesn't automatically override the notification obligations imposed by state laws when a data breach occurs.
