Counsel For Navigating The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)


 

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) (as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act [CPRA]) is a wide-ranging privacy and data protection law with compliance consequences for a broad line of business types. Like the European Union’s GDPR, the CCPA is extraterritorial in scope and applies to many companies not physically located in California. Enacted in 2018 and in effect from a compliance perspective since 2020, the CCPA imposes requirements that include specific privacy notices, such as via a privacy policy, implementation of data processing agreements (DPAs) with service providers, among others, honoring privacy rights of consumers such as DSARs, and conducting privacy impact assessments.

The CCPA is enforced by the California Attorney General and subsequent enforcement authority as per the CPRA by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA). So far, we have seen a variety of enforcement actions, ranging from warnings to fines, including those against this popular makeup retailer, a food delivery platform, and a gaming company for non-compliance with the child protection provisions of the CCPA and COPPA.

At RICHT, we provide clients with a full suite of legal services to comply with the CCPA and avoid regulatory enforcement and private actions. Our approach takes a business-first perspective that understands business relatives as well as goals and aims to fuse compliance and risk mitigation within those confines.
