In an increasingly digital world, protecting personal information online has become more critical than ever. With businesses collecting and processing vast amounts of data, individuals are more vulnerable to privacy breaches, identity theft, and unauthorized use of their personal information. At Daryl Reese Law Group, we specialize in helping businesses navigate California’s robust internet privacy laws and ensuring compliance with the state’s strict regulations.
Internet privacy protection refers to the legal safeguards that ensure personal information collected online is kept secure and used appropriately. With the rise of e-commerce, social media, and digital services, businesses must comply with various privacy regulations to protect users’ personal data from being misused or exposed.
In California, the landmark California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is one of the most comprehensive internet privacy laws in the United States, granting consumers broad rights over their personal information and placing significant responsibilities on businesses that collect and handle this data.
The CCPA, which went into effect on January 1, 2020, provides California residents with enhanced privacy rights and imposes stringent requirements on businesses regarding the collection, storage, and sharing of personal information. Some key provisions include:
The CCPA applies to businesses that operate in California or collect personal information from California residents and meet one or more of the following criteria:
Even businesses that do not meet these thresholds may be indirectly impacted by the CCPA if they work with third-party vendors or service providers that are subject to the law.
In November 2020, California voters approved the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which amends and expands the CCPA, adding more protections for consumers. The CPRA, which goes into effect in 2023, introduces new concepts such as:
Non-compliance with the CCPA and CPRA can result in significant penalties, including fines and civil lawsuits. The California Attorney General’s office is authorized to enforce the CCPA, with businesses facing fines of up to $7,500 per intentional violation and $2,500 per unintentional violation.
Additionally, the CCPA allows consumers to file lawsuits for data breaches resulting from a business’s failure to implement reasonable security measures. In such cases, consumers may seek damages ranging from $100 to $750 per incident or actual damages, whichever is greater.
Given the complexity and evolving nature of California’s internet privacy laws, businesses must take proactive steps to ensure compliance. Here are some best practices:
