On June 28, 2018, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). CCPA grants new privacy rights to Californian residents and applies a notice and consent framework to most businesses operating in California that collect personal information from those residents.
CCPA has been compared to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the EU’s broad and strict privacy and data protection law that went into force on May 25, 2018.  Although CCPA offers some data privacy rights for Californians that are similar to GDPR, CCPA lacks many of GDPR’s privacy compliance infrastructure requirements.  As a result, businesses subject to CCPA that already have undertaken GDPR compliance will find CCPA’s additional requirements more process than substance.
Today, CCPA is challenging because some of its compliance requirements are unclear. The California Attorney General is tasked with adopting regulations, rules and procedures that should help to clarify how to comply in the future. Until then, an affected business can take the time to understand CCPA’s purpose and scope and to inventory the personal information about Californians that the business collects, uses and discloses, but it cannot necessarily undertake any specific compliance steps until the California Attorney General or legislature provides further guidance.
Please refer to our FAQs for answers to common questions our clients have asked since CCPA was enacted. The FAQs will be updated over the coming months.
