California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
The CCPA gives consumers rights to know who is collecting information about them, what information is being collected, and the ability to opt out of their data being collected. Businesses must adhere to these requirements by giving consumers the following rights:
The right to disclosure
Business must disclose when they collect and sell information about a user, to whom they sell it, the specific pieces of information they collect and sell, and the purposes for which they collect and sell it. Businesses will have 45 days to provide specific information about information collected when a consumer makes a request for the information. Businesses have to give users 2 ways of requesting the information the business has/has disclosed within the past 12 months. (e.g., link, email address, phone number to contact).
The right to delete their data
Businesses must notify consumers that they have the right to request that their data be deleted. Business must comply and also require that their third-party data collectors also delete their information and ensure compliance with their data deletion request.
The right to opt-out
Businesses must notify consumers that they have a right to opt-out of data being collected and sold and actually follow through. In addition to a general opt-out link, they must provide a link specifically titled, “Do Not Sell My Information.”
The right to non-discrimination
Consumers who request that their data be deleted or who opt out of having their data collected and/or sold have the right to get the same service at the same cost.
There are eight consumer rights of General Data Protection Compliance, including:
Access: The right to access requires businesses to allow individuals to request access to their data, including information about how that data is used and stored. Businesses must provide a free copy of the data upon request and give customers an easy way to request the data.
Be informed: Website users must be informed about what their data will be used for and how you collect data. They must give consent before you can gather their data. Consent cannot be implied. Therefore, if your business is at a tradeshow collecting email addresses, you must state the purpose of the email address collection, how the data will be used, and keep the original forms in case consent is ever called into question.
Data portability: Customers may choose to transfer data from one place to another, depending on the nature of the business. If there is a transfer, it must be processed in a readable format.
Be forgotten: Website users may choose to ask businesses to delete their data by withdrawing consent. Once consent is withdrawn, businesses can no longer use the customer’s data for anything, including marketing.
Objection: Website visitors can object to the use of their data and request you to stop. For example, they can unsubscribe from email lists or call your business to object to further communications. As soon as a user objects to your use of their data, you must stop using it.
Restrict processing: Visitors can ask you to stop processing their data, allowing you to use existing data but not tracking the user across your website.
Notification: Customers who have given you their information have the right to be notified of data breaches within 72 hours. Customers should be informed of these breaches even if they don’t involve their credit card numbers because they may need to change passwords or be aware of criminal activity on any of their accounts.
Rectification: Customers can ask your business to update or correct personal data.
