Question 1

What is CCPA compliance?

Accepted Answer

CCPA compliance refers to adhering to the California Consumer Privacy Act, which gives California residents rights over how their personal data is collected, used, and shared by businesses.

Question 2

Who must comply with CCPA?

Accepted Answer

Any for-profit business that operates in California or serves California residents and meets at least one of the following: annual gross revenue above the state threshold; buying, selling, or sharing the personal information of 100,000 or more consumers or households; or deriving 50% or more of revenue from selling or sharing personal data.

Question 3

What happens if you are not CCPA compliant?

Accepted Answer

Non-compliance can lead to civil penalties for each violation, with higher penalties for intentional violations, plus consumer lawsuits after certain data breaches.

Question 4

What are the key requirements of CCPA?

Businesses must notify users before collecting data, provide opt-out options for the sale or sharing of data, allow consumers to access, delete, or correct their data, and update privacy policies regularly.
