CCPA Compliance Unveiled: Protecting Privacy in the Digital Age
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state law that grants California residents certain privacy rights regarding their personal information. Enacted in 2018 and effective from January 1, 2020, the CCPA has been expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
What is the CCPA?
The CCPA is a data privacy law designed to provide consumers more control over their personal information. It outlines how businesses can collect, store, and share personal data, and it gives consumers various rights to protect their data.
Key Provisions of the CCPA
- Right to Know: Consumers can request information about the personal data a business collects, how it's used, and who it's shared with.
- Right to Delete: Consumers have the right to request the deletion of their personal data.
- Right to Opt-Out: Consumers can prevent businesses from selling their personal data to third parties.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: Businesses cannot discriminate against consumers for exercising their CCPA rights.
Who Does the CCPA Apply To?
The CCPA applies to businesses that collect personal information from California residents and meet specific criteria, such as revenue thresholds or volume of data processing.
Amendments and Expansion: The CPRA
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which came into effect in 2023, amends and expands the CCPA by adding more protections and rights for consumers, including the creation of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) to oversee enforcement.
