In today\u2019s digital age, where everything you share online is being processed and all your data is being recorded it becomes utmost important to have formal regulations in place for businesses to ensure data security & privacy of their customers.<\/p>\n
Considering the ever-growing size of the sensitive data, incidents of data breaches have taken the front seat. And, in order to protect the consumers\u2019 personal information from these incidents, a set of stringent rules and regulations have been introduced as California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)<\/strong> to protect the data of golden state\u2019s consumers as well as residents. This act came in effect on January 1st<\/sup>, 2020 and it will likely to be enforced from July 1st<\/sup>, 2020 onwards or six months after the publication of the final regulation.<\/p>\n California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a bill that empowers the residents of California, United States to have enhanced privacy rights & consumer protection. The CCPA grants Californians\u2019 rights to have access & delete the data that companies collect about them and allows them to opt out of their data being sold.<\/p>\n Compared to GDPR<\/a>, CCPA demands the businesses to be more transparent which gives the consumer more visibility in understanding of how & why their data is being collected and provides them with better control on their data. The unique requirement of CCPA for providing a clear and noticeable link on business website stating \u201cDo Not Sell My Personal Information\u201d enables consumers to opt-out of the sale of their personal information to third parties.<\/p>\n When does CCPA apply to a business?<\/strong><\/p>\n CCPA applies to all profit-oriented businesses that collect, share or sell personal data of California consumers and<\/p>\n What if you don\u2019t comply to CCPA?<\/strong><\/p>\n If a business fails to address an alleged violation within 30 days of non-compliance notification, it can bring penalty of up to $2,500 <\/strong>per violation (Calculated on a per-capita<\/strong> basis.
