The California Consumer Privacy Act is a regulation in the U.S. state of California governing data privacy, which places new requirements on individuals and businesses offering services to Californian residents.
The CCPA went into effect on January 1, 2020, and the California Attorney General began enforcement action starting July 1, 2020. The CCPA gives Californians more transparency, rights, and control around the way their information is used. It also provides rights for data deletion, access, and portability.
