CCPA Training Guide
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a pivotal piece of legislation that has significantly impacted privacy regulations in the United States. Passed in 2018, the CCPA set a new standard for consumer privacy rights, requiring businesses to be more transparent about the data they collect and how it is used. The law has been further refined by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which introduced additional amendments effective January 1, 2023.
