California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will go into effect
on January 1, 2020. CCPA can apply to businesses even if they do
not have offices or employees in California. For-profit
businesses that collect or use personal information, do business in
California, and meet certain thresholds (revenue or data
collection) should know their CCPA obligations. The California
AG's office is currently working on regulations implementing
CCPA and amendments are proposed in California legislature.
We will continue to provide updates as the law evolves.
Does CCPA Apply to You? (10 Months to Go)
California's new Consumer Privacy
Protection Act ("CCPA") goes into effect January 1,
2020. It can also reach activities conducted outside of
California. CCPA breaks new ground in US privacy law, though
organizations that are subject to complying with the EU's GDPR
may find complying with CCPA less of an adjustment in their data
practices.
