In 2020, California enacted the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA), a state law that grants residents the right to know about, delete, and opt-out of the usage and sale of their personal data.
With the highest population and largest economy in the US, California is an important market for nearly every technology business. It’s critical that companies fully understand their legal obligations when doing business with California consumers. Failure to comply with the CCPA comes with consequences, including hefty fines and diminished trust from customers.
Why CCPA compliance?
CCPA is California state law. Businesses that collect, use, or sell the personal information of California residents are subject to the act. By achieving CCPA compliance, companies can continue selling into the largest market in the US without interruption or penalty.
In addition to the peace of mind that comes with meeting legal requirements, companies choose to demonstrate their CCPA compliance to build trust with prospects and win new business. Technology sellers use CCPA to demonstrate the sophistication of their data security program and to get ahead of common security concerns from potential buyers.
Last, the CCPA is a forward-looking data policy that prepares organizations for consumer privacy laws in other markets. Companies use the CCPA to establish norms for protecting consumer data and expand to other standards, such as the GDPR, with ease due to the groundwork done with CCPA.
