- Navigating CCPA Data Compliance: What You Need to Know
- The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a comprehensive state-wide data privacy law, dictates how companies worldwide must handle the personal information (PI) of California residents. Since its enforcement on January 1st, 2020, the CCPA has set the standard for data privacy regulations across the United States.
- Under the CCPA, for-profit companies fall within its purview if they process the personal information of over 50,000 California residents annually, generate more than $25 million in gross annual revenue, or derive over half of their yearly income from selling the personal information of California residents.
- This expansive scope means that businesses, regardless of their physical location, must adhere to CCPA requirements to protect the data privacy rights of Californians.
- CCPA compliance requirements are stringent. Upon receiving notification of a violation from regulators, companies have a mere 30 days to rectify the issue. Failure to do so can result in substantial fines, potentially reaching up to $7,500 per record.
- Unlike the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which defines sensitive data more narrowly, the CCPA adopts a broader perspective. It considers information that “identifies, refers to, describes, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular customer or household” as “PI” under this groundbreaking privacy law.
- In this landscape of heightened data security and privacy concerns, complying with CCPA data security requirements is not merely an option but a legal obligation.
