America's most comprehensive state privacy law, giving California consumers unprecedented control over their personal information. Neostra streamlines CCPA/CPRA compliance with automated opt-out management, data inventory, and consumer request fulfillment.
Explore Our Platform →The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), is the most comprehensive state-level privacy law in the United States. Effective January 1, 2020, with CPRA amendments taking effect January 1, 2023.
The law gives California consumers significant rights over their personal information and imposes obligations on businesses that collect, sell, or share consumer data, with enhanced protections for sensitive personal information under CPRA.
The CCPA/CPRA applies to for-profit businesses that collect personal information of California residents and meet any one of the following thresholds:
Understanding the core obligations under California's consumer privacy framework
Businesses must provide a clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link and honor consumer opt-out requests for data selling and sharing.
Maintain a comprehensive, updated privacy policy disclosing data categories collected, purposes, consumer rights, and details about data selling or sharing practices.
Under CPRA, businesses must limit collection and use of personal information to what is reasonably necessary and proportionate to the disclosed purposes.
Provide consumers the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information to what is necessary. Display a "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" link.
Include specific contractual provisions with service providers and contractors that restrict how they process personal information shared with them.
Conduct regular cybersecurity audits and risk assessments for processing activities that present significant risk to consumer privacy or security.
California consumers enjoy broad rights over their personal information
Consumers can request disclosure of what personal information a business has collected, the sources, purposes, and third parties with whom it has been shared.
Consumers can request deletion of their personal information held by a business, with the business required to direct service providers to do the same.
Consumers can direct businesses to stop selling or sharing their personal information with third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Consumers can request that businesses correct inaccurate personal information maintained about them, with verification procedures.
Consumers can direct businesses to limit the use and disclosure of their sensitive personal information to only what is necessary to perform services.
Businesses cannot discriminate against consumers for exercising their CCPA rights through denying services, charging different prices, or providing different quality.
