Your readiness roadmap for the California Consumer Privacy Act

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 was passed on June 28, 2018 and amended on August 31. The law, which will take effect on January 1, 2020, introduces new privacy rights for consumers and will force companies that process personal date of California residents to implement structural changes to their privacy programs.

The new rights given to California consumers are similar to the rights provided in the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The CCPA also subjects non-compliant businesses to expensive fines, class-action lawsuits, and injunctions.
