The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a comprehensive data privacy law that was enacted in California, United States. It grants California residents certain rights and protections over their personal information and imposes obligations on businesses that collect, use, and share that information. The CCPA provides individuals with several rights:
It also requires businesses to provide transparent privacy policies, implement security measures to protect personal information, and comply with consumer requests regarding their data. The CCPA aims to enhance consumer privacy rights and empower individuals to have more control over their personal information in the digital age.
The CCPA applies to various businesses that meet specific criteria. Here are the types of businesses that fall under the scope of the CCPA:
Businesses with annual gross revenue over $25 million: If your business has a gross annual revenue exceeding $25 million, regardless of whether you are based in California or not, you are subject to the CCPA.
Businesses that buy, sell, or share personal information: If your business engages in buying, selling, or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more California residents, households, or devices, you must comply with the CCPA. This includes businesses that may not meet the revenue threshold but handle a significant volume of personal information.
Businesses deriving 50% or more annual revenue from selling personal information: If your business generates 50% or more of its annual revenue from selling the personal information of California residents, you are obligated to comply with the CCPA, regardless of the revenue threshold.
It is important to note that the CCPA applies to for-profit businesses and does not apply to certain entities such as nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and some types of health and financial institutions already subject to specific privacy regulations. If your business falls within the scope of the CCPA, it is essential to understand and fulfill your compliance obligations to protect consumer privacy and avoid potential penalties.
Yes, the CCPA applies to businesses that meet the qualifying criteria and do business in California, even if they are not physically located within the state. If your business collects personal information from California residents and meets the CCPA's requirements, you are subject to its provisions.
Non-compliance with the CCPA can result in significant financial penalties and legal consequences. The California Attorney General has the authority to enforce the CCPA and can impose fines of up to $2,500 for each unintentional violation and up to $7,500 for each intentional violation. These penalties can quickly add up, especially if multiple violations are identified. Additionally, businesses may also face civil litigation from individuals or class-action lawsuits, which can result in substantial damages and legal expenses. It is crucial for businesses to prioritize CCPA compliance to avoid these potential penalties and protect consumer privacy rights.
