The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a comprehensive privacy law that grants California residents significant control over their personal information. Businesses that meet specific criteria, including those operating in California and collecting data from California residents, are subject to the CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a comprehensive law that grants California residents significant control over their personal information. Here are the key components of the CCPA
Residents have the right to know what personal information is collected, used, disclosed, and sold. This also includes the categories of third parties with whom the information is shared.
Residents can request the deletion of their personal information. However, there are certain exceptions, such as when the information is necessary to complete a transaction, detect and prevent security breaches, or exercise legal rights.
Residents can opt-out of the sale of their personal information. This means that businesses cannot sell their personal information to third parties for a commercial purpose.
Businesses must disclose certain categories of personal information they collect to third parties for marketing purposes. This is a requirement under California Civil Code Section 1798.83, which is also known as the "Shine the Light Law."
Businesses cannot discriminate against residents for exercising their rights under the CCPA. This means that businesses cannot charge different prices or provide different levels of service based on a resident's exercise of their rights.
Businesses must provide a clear and conspicuous notice at the point of collection that informs residents about the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for which the information is used, and the categories of third parties with whom the information is shared.
Businesses must comply with the Do Not Track browser signal, which is a request from a user to opt-out of tracking.
Businesses must notify residents of a data breach that could pose a significant risk to the resident's personal information.
Businesses must designate a designated agent to receive and respond to resident requests.
The California Attorney General is responsible for enforcing the CCPA.
