The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective January 1, 2020, is the first comprehensive data privacy law in the United States specifically applicable to California. It enhances the rights of consumers over their personal data and establishes rigorous standards for its collection, use, and disclosure.
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which came into effect on July 1, 2023, with retroactive application to January 1, 2022, strengthens these requirements by imposing stricter obligations on the handling of personally identifiable information (PI). The CPRA also created the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), a dedicated regulatory body responsible for overseeing and enforcing statewide compliance with data protection laws.

Companies that annually buy, receive, or sell the personal data of 50,000 or more residents, households, or devices in California.
