California Privacy Rights

Following the passage of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”), the State of California passed The California Consumer Protection Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) which gives California residents unparalleled data privacy rights. The law took effect on January 1, 2020. The law applies to businesses that collect and sell consumer “personal information” or discloses personal data for a business purpose. CCPA gives California residents/consumers the right and control over the use of their personal information collected by businesses.

  • Have a gross annual revenue of over $25 Million;

• Buys, receives or sells personal information of over 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices; or
• Derives 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling personal information of California residents.
• CCPA does not apply to not-for-profit businesses or government agencies.
