California Consumer Privacy Act Update: Assembly Approves 12 Amendments - Changes Would Exclude Employees and Vehicle Information, Protect Loyalty Programs | Holland & Knight LLP - JDSupra
The Act directs the California State Attorney General to issue regulations on seven important areas, including potential additional categories of "personal information" within scope of the CCPA, the rules and procedures governing the submission of consumer requests to opt-out of the sale of personal information and businesses' compliance with the same, and certain exceptions to the law. See Civil Code §1798.185.
The Office of the California Attorney General held a series of CCPA public forums where staff indicated that draft regulations can be expected by fall 2019. (See Holland & Knight's alert, "Final Public Forum Held on California Consumer Privacy Act," March 7, 2019.) Given that time frame and the mandatory public comment period on any draft regulations, it is unlikely that the implementing regulations will be finalized prior to the CCPA's effective date of Jan. 1, 2020. Fortunately, the Act provides that the state may not begin any enforcement until six months after final regulations are enacted. Civil Code §1798.185(c). Consumers, on the other hand, can bring a private right of action for violations of the statute's data breach provision or under California's Unfair Competition Law as soon as the Act goes into effect. Complicating businesses' efforts to operationalize the CCPA is the fact that the Act includes a one-year, look-back window, requiring businesses to provide personal information for the prior 12 months in response to consumers' verifiable requests. Civil Code §1798.130.
AB 25 California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 [to exclude employees], passed Assembly (61-0) on May 29, 2019. One of the most closely watched bills, AB 25 would amend Section 1798.140(g)(2) of the Civil Code to clarify that the definition of "consumer" does not include job applicants, employees, agents of a business or contractors — defined as a natural person providing services to a business pursuant to a written contract — provided that the individual's personal information is collected and used by the business solely in that context. Although it is considered a significant improvement over the Act's existing language, the bill as currently in print still does not address a variety of business relationships, such as investors, franchisees or authorized dealers/licensees.
AB 873 California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 [to redefine personal information], passed Assembly (56-0) on May 22, 2019. As amended, this bill would 1) revise the definition of personal information [Civil Code §1798.140(o)(1)] to include information that is "reasonably capable of being associated with" a particular consumer or household, as opposed to "capable of being associated with a particular consumer or household" and 2) replace the definition of "deidentified" [Civil Code §1798.140(h)] to, instead, mean information that does not identify, and is not reasonably linkable, directly or indirectly, to a particular consumer, provided that the business makes no attempt to reidentify the information and takes reasonable technical and administrative measures designed to a) ensure that the data is deidentified, b) publicly commit to maintain and use the data in a deidentified form, and c) contractually prohibit recipients of the data from trying to reidentify it. This bill also revises a provision [Civil Code §1798.145(i)] of the CCPA prohibiting the Act from being construed to require a business to reidentify or otherwise link information that is "not maintained in a manner that would be considered personal information" to instead refer to information that is "not maintained as personal information." The bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 29, 2019.
AB 874 California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 [to redefine personal information], passed Assembly (76-0) on May 9, 2019. This bill would redefine "publicly available" personal information [Civil Code §1798.140(o)(2)] to mean information that is lawfully made available from federal, state or local records, and clarify that "personal information" does not include deidentified or aggregate consumer information. The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
AB 981 Insurance Information and Privacy Protection Act, passed Assembly (77-0) on May 22, 2019. Introduced with the aim of wholly exempting insurance institutions, agents and support organizations (collectively, "insurers") from the CCPA, AB 981 was amended in committee and now would excuse insurers subject to the Insurance Information and Privacy Protection Act (IIPPA) from complying with consumers' requests to delete personal information [Civil Code §1798.105] and to opt-out of the sale of personal information [Civil Code §1798.120], but only to the extent necessary to complete an insurance transaction. The exemption would not apply to the limited private right of action for data breaches in the CCPA or business activities not subject to the IIPPA. AB 981 would also harmonize some of the consumer protections contained in the CCPA with the requirements of the IIPPA by updating disclosures and requiring insurers to provide a notice of information practices, including the categories of personal information collected and for what purpose. The bill has been referred to the Senate Insurance and Judiciary Committees.
AB 1146 California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018: exemptions: vehicle information, passed Assembly (56-0) on May 23, 2019. As amended, the bill would exempt from the CCPA vehicle information — defined as VIN, make, model, year, odometer reading, and the name and contact information of the registered owners — shared between a new motor vehicle dealer and the vehicle's manufacturer. The exemption applies only, however, if the information is shared pursuant to or in anticipation of a vehicle repair relating to warranty work or a recall. The amendment would not excuse dealers and manufacturers from complying with CCPA's notification [Civil Code §1798.100] and disclosure [Civil Code §§1798.110, 1798.115] requirements. Nor would dealers and manufacturers be protected from civil actions brought under Section 1798.150.
AB 1355 Personal information, passed Assembly (76-0) on May 9, 2019. As amended, this bill would exclude deidentified or aggregated information from the definition of personal information [Civil Code §1798.140(o)], and clarify that permissible discrimination [Civil Code §1798.125] must be reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the consumer's data. The bill has been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
On the other hand, more focused legislation has succeed in a number of states. In early May, Hawaii sent a bill to Gov. David Ige that, if signed, would prohibit the sale of location data collected by smartphones without the explicit consent of the user. On May 29, 2019, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed SB 220, which gives consumers the right to opt out of the sale of covered information by internet service providers and websites. And Maine appears poised to pass legislation that would prohibit internet service providers from selling customers' data without consent. Nevada [Nev. Revised Stat. §205.498] and Minnesota [Minn. Stat. §§325M.01 to 325M.09] already have similar laws to the one being contemplated in Maine.
