CCPA Compliance Templates


What is required for California CCPA compliance? How do I make my website CCPA compliant? Does my privacy policy need CCPA wording?

The new CCPA amendments to California Civil Code went into effect on January 1, 2020. Since the European Union, General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (GDPR) took effect on May 25, 2018, and replaced the EU Directive and its member states started implementing the laws. On June 28, 2018, California became the first U.S. state with a comprehensive consumer privacy law when it enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) with a few exceptions (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100-1798.199). 

Therefore, businesses need to have their data controlling systems in place, since it gives consumers the right to request all the Personal Information (PI) that a company has collected on them during 2019-2021. Given their comprehensiveness and broad reaches, each law may have a significant impact on entities that collect and process personal information/data.
