On July 8, 2025, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong announced a settlement with TicketNetwork for alleged violations of the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”). According to the Attorney General’s press release, the Office of the Attorney General (“OAG”) first sent a “cure notice” to TicketNetwork on November 9, 2023. In that notice the OAG alleged that the company’s privacy notice was deficient under the CTDPA and provided the company with an opportunity to cure the alleged violation.
