Summary
Dive into the world of data privacy with our presentation on the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This legislation grants Californians unprecedented control over their personal data. We'll explore the key rights it provides, such as the ability to know what data is collected, to request its deletion, and to opt-out of the sale of data --- meaning consumers can direct businesses to stop selling their personal information, protecting their privacy from unwanted commercial use
We'll also discuss the CCPA's impact on businesses. The CCPA applies to for-profit businesses that collect personal data from California residents, do business in California, and meet specific thresholds. While the law primarily targets larger companies, small businesses that meet certain criteria must also comply, ensuring they handle consumer data responsibly
Enforcement of the CCPA is robust, with the California Attorney General and the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) holding the authority to ensure compliance and impose penalties for violations
Join us to understand how this law empowers consumers and what businesses need to do to stay compliant.
