As a follow up to our earlier blog, on January 16, 2024, New Jersey officially enacted its privacy law, designed to protect resident consumer personal information. The adoption of the New Jersey Data Protection Act ("New Jersey Privacy Law" or "NJDPA") makes New Jersey the 13th jurisdiction with a comprehensive state privacy law. The New Jersey Privacy Law will take effect on January 16, 2025.
