The CCPA is a privacy law that enhances consumer rights for California residents by giving them more control over their personal data. It requires businesses to disclose how they collect, use, and share personal information and gives users the right to access, delete, and opt out of data sales.
The CCPA applies to for-profit businesses that meet any of the following criteria:
Even if your business is located outside California, if you serve California residents and meet these conditions, CCPA compliance is required.
Under the CCPA, consumers have the right to:
✅ Know what personal data businesses collect and how it is used.
✅ Request deletion of their personal information.
✅ Opt-out of the sale of their personal information.
✅ Non-discrimination, meaning businesses cannot deny services or charge higher prices for exercising their privacy rights.
Businesses must provide a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on their website to enable opt-out requests.
The CCPA defines "selling" broadly—it’s not just about exchanging data for money. If a business shares, rents, discloses, or transfers personal information to another company in exchange for some form of benefit, it may be considered a sale under the CCPA.
Businesses must clearly state whether they "sell" user data in their Privacy Policy and offer an opt-out option.
