Frequently asked questions about New Hampshire website compliance
How does NHDPA differ from CTDPA?
NHDPA borrows most of CTDPA's framework but with a lower threshold (35,000 instead of 100,000 consumers). If you already comply with Connecticut's CTDPA, your existing privacy program substantively satisfies New Hampshire too — you just need to add the NH-specific rights enumeration to your privacy notice.
