California Consumer Privacy Act Compliance

GET STARTED TODAY

In the 21st century, we share and store our most sensitive personal information on phones, computer workstations, and cloud-based services and computers. Today more than ever, a strong privacy and personal data security program is essential to the safety and welfare of the people of California and to our economy.

The California legislature unanimously approved and enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) on June 28, 2018. The CCPA is arguably the most far-reaching data protection law ever enacted in the United States. Fundamental to this right of privacy is the ability of individuals to control the use, including the sale, of their personal information.

Personal information that identifies, relates to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household.

Personal information includes traditional identifiers (e.g. name, postal address, email address, Social Security number, and driver’s license or passport numbers), as well as unique personal identifiers (e.g. biometric information, IP address, internet browsing or search history, and geolocation data).

Penalties for non-compliance with CCPA

Companies that commit intentional violations are subject to penalties of up to $7,500 per violation.

Companies that commit an unintentional violation and fail to remediate within 30 days of receiving notice are liable for up to $2,500 per violation

Companies that experience data theft / data security breaches can be ordered in a civil class action to pay statutory damages between $100 to $750 per CA employee per incident or actual damages, whichever is greater, and any other relief a court deems proper.
