California Consumer Privacy Act

Meet California's newest initiative which aims to expand on privacy laws and protect California citizens.

What is CCPA?

  • Effective January 1, 2020, CCPA is a sweeping privacy overhaul for California residents & businesses
  • Gives consumers wide range of new rights - including right to access their personal information (PI), request their PI to be deleted, or opt-out of having their PI sold.
  • Requires businesses to comply with consumer requests, & protect consumer PI with "reasonable" security, or face massive fines/penalties.

Who is Impacted?

Any for-profit company, that does business in CA (whether located in CA or not), & meets one of the following criteria:

  • Has an annual revenue in excess of $25M;
  • Derives 50% or more of its revenue from selling PI of CA residents; or
  • Buys, sells, receives or shares for commercial purposes the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices.
