Preparing for the California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a sweeping data privacy law set to go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020. The law applies to businesses—including those outside of California—that collect “personal information” (which is very broadly defined) about California residents. The CCPA provides consumers new rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, the right to access, the right to opt-out of sale, and the right to delete. In addition, the CCPA provides for a limited private right of action for data breaches. Companies need to prepare now to avoid potentially costly attorney general enforcement actions.

  • Organizations covered by the CCPA
  • What’s considered personal information
  • Requirements under the law
  • What you can do to prepare
