California Consumer Privacy Act – 15 Days Left for Compliance and Does GDPR Compliance Help?

The CCPA goes live January 1, 2020. California residents will then have the right to ask covered companies for a copy (within 45 days) of all the specific pieces of personal information collected about them in the prior 12 months, to have their information erased, and to prohibit your client from selling their information. New privacy policy disclosures are also required. Are you prepared? Are you willing to risk fines up to $7,500 per violation? What needs to change from any prior GDPR efforts? Here’s your chance to be proactive.

The law applies to almost any business – wherever located – that does business in California and collects information about a California resident. The requirements can be onerous if a company does not have good compliance mechanisms in place. With only 15 days left to get into compliance many businesses are starting to panic.
