Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CCPA apply if my business is not in California?
Yes. The CCPA applies to any for-profit business collecting personal information from California residents, regardless of where the business is located, if it meets any of the three threshold tests.
What is the difference between CCPA and CPRA?
The CPRA amends and expands the CCPA. It added the right to correct data, the right to limit sensitive data use, data minimization requirements, the California Privacy Protection Agency, and removed the 30-day cure period.
What are the penalties for non-compliance?
Up to $2,500 per unintentional violation and $7,500 per intentional violation. Consumers can also sue for $100 to $750 per person per data breach incident under the private right of action.
Does GDPR compliance satisfy CCPA?
No. While there is overlap, CCPA has unique requirements including the specific opt-out mechanism, private right of action for breaches, and employee/B2B data coverage. Both must be addressed separately.
What is the Global Privacy Control (GPC)?
GPC is a browser signal that communicates a consumer's opt-out preference. Under CPRA, businesses must honor GPC signals as valid opt-out requests for sale and sharing of personal information.
How does CCPA relate to cybersecurity?
The CCPA's private right of action lets consumers sue when a breach results from failure to implement "reasonable security." Strong cybersecurity measures are a legal necessity under CCPA.
