The CCPA was created by the California State Legislature in response to a law requiring businesses to protect the personal information of Californians. The law was created as a result of the many data breaches that have occurred in recent years as well as the increasing use of consumer data by businesses. CCPA replaces previous laws governing consumer ådata protection in California and establishes new requirements for businesses.

In accordance with the CCPA, businesses are required to disclose what personal information they collect, use, and sell, and consumers are entitled to know what personal information is being collected about them. Additionally, consumers have the right to request that their personal information be deleted, and businesses are required to comply with these requests. Furthermore, the CCPA prohibits businesses from selling the personal information of minors without their consent.

All businesses that collect, use, or sell personal information about Californians are subject to the CCPA, regardless of their location. Businesses that violate the CCPA may be fined up to $7500 per violation. The law goes into effect on January 1, 2020.

The CCPA is the first law of its kind in the United States and sets a new standard for the protection of personal information. A similar law is likely to be passed in other states in the near future. To avoid significant penalties, businesses must comply with the CCPA.

Consumers may file a complaint with the California Attorney General's Office if a business does not comply with the CCPA. If the office finds that the business has violated the law, it may take enforcement action.

All businesses that collect, use, or sell the personal information of Californians are subject to the CCPA, regardless of whether they are based in the state.

What is the difference between the CCPA and GDPR?

In many ways, the CCPA is similar to the GDPR, however, there are some key differences. A business that processes the personal data of Europeans is subject to the GDPR, regardless of where the business is located. Businesses that collect, use, or sell personal information about Californians are subject to the CCPA.

The GDPR also requires businesses to obtain explicit consumer consent before collecting, using, or selling their personal information. This requirement is not included in the CCPA, but consumers do have the right to request that their personal information be deleted.

Additionally, the CCPA prohibits businesses from selling personal information about minors without their consent, whereas the GDPR does not contain this provision.

There are some key differences between the CCPA and the GDPR that businesses should be aware of.
