Data Privacy Standard

What is the CCPA?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state statute intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California. It was introduced to give consumers unprecedented control over the personal information that businesses collect about them.

It applies to for-profit businesses operating in California that meet specific revenue or data processing thresholds. Notably, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)significantly expanded the CCPA, establishing a dedicated privacy protection agency and introducing rights over "sensitive" personal information.

Consumer Control

Consumer Rights
Under CCPA.

The CCPA fundamentally shifts power back to the consumer, establishing six core rights regarding how their personal data is handled.

Right to Know

Request full disclosure of what personal information is collected, its sources, and the exact business purposes for its use.

Right to Delete

Demand the permanent deletion of personal data your business has collected, ensuring absolute data sovereignty.

Right to Correct

Submit requests to amend and update inaccurate personal information maintained in your databases.

Right to Opt-Out

Explicitly direct businesses to cease the sale or sharing of their personal information with third parties.

Limit Sensitive Info

Restrict the usage of highly sensitive data like precise geolocation, biometrics, or genetic information.

Non-Discrimination

Guarantee that consumers won't face different pricing or degraded service for exercising their privacy rights.

Obligations

Business Responsibilities

To honor consumer rights, businesses must implement a robust operational framework spanning policies, technology, and vendor oversight.

Common Compliance
Challenges

Achieving CCPA compliance is complex. Most organizations struggle with these critical operational and technical hurdles.

01

Unknown Data Locations

Companies often collect vast amounts of data without a clear map of where it lives or who has access to it.

02

Third-Party Data Sharing

Losing control over personal information once it's shared with vendors and complex ad-tech ecosystems.

03

Manual Request Handling

Relying on spreadsheets and emails to process complex DSARs, risking missed 45-day legal deadlines.

04

Incomplete Privacy Policies

Failing to explicitly disclose specific data categories, sources, and purposes of collection as required by law.

05

Lack of Data Governance

Absence of internal processes to delete data when no longer needed, leading to massive data hoarding risks.

06

Poor Consent Management

Inadequate mechanisms to honor 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' requests effectively.
