Category: California privacy - CPRA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) are landmark pieces of legislation designed to enhance consumer privacy rights in California.

The CCPA, enacted in 2018, grants California residents significant rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know what personal information is being collected, the right to delete personal information, and the right to opt-out of the sale of personal information.

The CPRA, which builds upon the CCPA, further strengthens consumer privacy rights by introducing new provisions such as the right to correct inaccurate personal information and the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. These laws have significant implications for businesses operating both inside and outside of California, requiring them to implement robust data privacy programs, provide consumers with clear and conspicuous privacy notices, and establish procedures for handling consumer requests.
