On April 13, 2026, Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger signed SB338 into law, amending Virginia’s Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) to prohibit controllers of personal data from selling consumers’ precise geolocation data. This ban, which takes effect on July 1, 2026, makes Virginia the third state in recent years to prohibit the sale of such data and reflects a trend that is likely to continue. Somewhat surprisingly, Virginia was the second state, behind California, to enact a comprehensive consumer privacy law and is continuing within that vein with this early expansion of privacy rights.
