Acronyms such as the CCPA, GDPR and CPRA have become all too common today. When the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect on January 1, 2020, the legislation started a conversation amongst businesses dealing with California residents regarding how to adapt and comply with what’s considered one of the harshest pieces of consumer-focused digital privacy legislation.
With the CCPA in effect, businesses that fall under the scope of the law have had to make a considerable number of changes in the way their websites and other digital assets collect, process and share the personal data of California residents. Changes such as amending outdated privacy policies, implementing safeguards, honoring data subject rights, issuing prompt data breach notifications and more are just some of the requirements.
