Topics that we often discuss on this blog are the use of third-party tracking
tools and the California Invasion of Privacy Act
("CIPA"). Less discussed of late, however, is the
California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA") which, like
CIPA, provides consumers with a private right of action. Until
recently, private lawsuits brought under the CCPA typically have
been limited to data breach incidents. However, a recent California
federal court ruling has paved the way for a lawsuit to proceed
alleging CCPA violations in the absence of a data breach. Below, we
discuss the decision, the similarities between CIPA and CCPA
claims, and the implications of the decision for online
businesses.
