Why It’s Important
Not to be overshadowed by the global privacy wave, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act governing how companies share and handle personal data of California consumers. The CCPA also gives consumers the ability to opt-out of the sale of their personal data. Companies must be prepared to honor access, deletion, opt-out, and notice requirements under the CCPA or risk fines from regulators and/or lawsuits from consumers if their personal data is breached.
