California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (USA)

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) is a comprehensive privacy law that grants California consumers rights over their personal information and imposes obligations on businesses that collect, use, disclose, or sell personal data. The CCPA provides consumers with rights including access, deletion, correction, opt-out of sale or sharing of personal information, and protection against discrimination for exercising privacy rights. The law establishes transparency, notice, accountability, and data governance requirements for covered businesses and is enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General.
