Takeaways From The California Attorney General's First-Year CCPA Enforcement Update

Just over one year ago, on July 1, 2020, the California attorney general began enforcing the California Consumer Privacy Act. To mark the one-year anniversary of enforcement actions, California Attorney General Rob Bonta provided an update on his office's CCPA enforcement efforts over the past year (and published an accompanying press release).

As part of his update, the Office of the Attorney General released 27 examples of enforcement actions, which include descriptions of the alleged noncompliance and the steps businesses took in response. While the OAG cautioned that the examples do not include all the facts of the situation, the examples provide insight into the enforcement process and the AG's current priorities.
