CCPA Audit| CyberCube

CCPA stands for the California Consumer Privacy Act, which is a privacy law in California, USA, and went into effect on January 1, 2020. The CCPA is intended to provide California residents with more control over their personal information and make sure the companies that collect their data make it clear how that data is used.

Under the CCPA, California residents have the following rights: the right to know what personal information is being collected about them by companies; the right to request that their personal information is deleted; the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information, and the right to not be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights.

Who Must Comply and Why It Matters:

CCPA Applicability Criteria

The CCPA applies to businesses that collect or process the personal information of California residents and meet certain criteria, such as having annual revenues of $25 million or more, collecting the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices per year, or deriving 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling the personal information of California residents.

Significance

The CCPA is important because it represents the first comprehensive privacy law in the USA, and it has established a benchmark for other states to follow. The CCPA has also ignited consideration of similar privacy laws in additional countries, such as Brazil and India.

How does this privacy law improve data privacy and security? let’s see

Competitive Edge

Companies that comply with CCPA can leverage their compliant practices into a competitive advantage by demonstrating and establishing trust that they value protecting their customers and their privacy.

Transparency

CCPA requires companies to be transparent about their data collecting and processing practices. Companies will be required to disclose the following information to the consumer: the specific types of personal information that are collected; usage of the data; and who the data is being shared with.

Enhanced Data Defense Measures

CCPA requires companies to protect personal information with reasonable security measures. CCPA (Section 1798.150) describes unauthorized access, disclosure and destruction as a security breach and means the consumer may sue the business or organization if adequate security measures were not put into place.

Corporate Accountability

CCPA makes companies accountable by instituting fines and penalties when data privacy laws are not taken seriously.

Control of Personal Information

CCPA empowers California residents by providing individuals the right to control their personal information. Consumers have a right to excise their data that is being collected, they have a right to ask for their data to be excised, and consumers will have a right to opt-out of any sales related to their data.

FAQs

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a privacy law that gives California residents more control over how their personal information is collected and used. For businesses, it’s not just about avoiding fines—it’s about showing customers you respect their privacy. Following CCPA helps you build trust and stay ahead of growing data privacy expectations.

Not every business fall under the CCPA, but many do. If your company makes over $25 million in annual revenue, handles data of 100,000+ California residents, or earns half of its revenue from selling personal data—you’re required to comply. Even if you’re not based in California, you may still be covered if you serve California customers.

The CCPA gives people a set of powerful privacy rights. They can ask to know what data you’ve collected, request that you delete their information, opt-out of their data being sold, or even correct mistakes in their records. They also have the right to say, “limit how you use my sensitive information.”
