California Attorney General Previews Enforcement Strategy

California Attorney General Rob Bonta waded into privacy enforcement issues for the first time on Monday, July 19, with a press release addressing two key issues: 1) summary details on notices sent by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) demanding that businesses cure violations of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and 2) the launch of a new consumer reporting tool for certain compliance complaints. The release - Bonta's first statement about the CCPA since taking office earlier this year - demonstrates a continued focus by the state on businesses compliance with CCPA's obligation to provide individuals an easy method to opt-out of certain disclosures of their personal information.
