CCPA
In June 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law AB 375, enacting The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) which went into effect on January 1, 2020. The purpose of CCPA is to give consumers more rights related to their personal data, while also requiring businesses to be more transparent about the way personal data is used and shared. Because of California’s reputation as a hub for technology development, this law speaks to the needs of its consumers which continue to evolve with technological advancements and the resulting privacy implications surrounding the collection, use, and protection of personal information.
