The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) took effect on January 1st, 2020. It puts in place new requirements for processing personal information and grants Californian consumers additional rights.
The CCPA applies to any for-profit entity doing business in California that either:
processes (buy, sell, receive, share) personally identifiable information of at least 50k Californians per year,
has annual gross revenues of at least $ 25 million, or
makes over 50% of its yearly revenue from sharing consumers’ personal information with third parties
Please note that your business could be based anywhere: as long as your services are accessible in California, you could be covered by the CCPA and have to adhere to its requirements.
