CCPA
California Consumer Privacy Act, the first comprehensive US state privacy law, which can grant eligible California consumers rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of sale or sharing, subject to covered-business scope, verification, exemptions, and other limits.
Full definition
The California Consumer Privacy Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.), effective January 2020 and amended by the CPRA (effective January 2023), gives eligible California consumers rights that can include access, deletion, correction, and opting out of sale or sharing, subject to business scope, verification, exemptions, and other limits. The applicable response rule and extension process should be checked in the current statute and CPPA guidance for the request at issue. The CPPA and California Attorney General have enforcement roles.
