California, arguably the most consumer-friendly state, has once again placed itself at the forefront of legislation, this time with a law impacting data protection, by enacting – in one week from the time it was drafted – the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). If it seems reckless to pass legislation in such a short period of time, most reasonable people would probably agree.
Nevertheless, this law will take effect on January 1, 2020 and will be enforced by the California Attorney General beginning in July 2020. The CCPA will affect for-profit businesses that either have annual gross sales in excess of $25 million, or that buy, share, receive or sell personal information for commercial purposes of fifty thousand or more consumer household devices . Learn more about the impact this legislation will have on businesses in this month’s blog post.
