On January 1st, 2023 the CCPA was officially amended by the ​​California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which strengthened many of the protections set forth in the original act.
The amendment gives consumers the right to limit businesses’ ability to collect, use, and share private information like social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, and more.
The CPRA also created a “California Privacy Protection Agency” tasked with regulation enforcement and tripled the penalty for mishandling children’s information.
