What is the CCPA?
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a privacy law that regulates how businesses all over the world are allowed to handle the personal information (PI) of users. The law which came into effect on January 1, 2020, is the first of its kind law in the United States.
Established to protect consumer rights to Privacy, the legislation expects companies to be transparent about the use of consumer data and provide consumers full control over the use of their data.
The world refers to CCPA as a gentler version of GDPR. However, it is not gentler on demands or penalties.
