CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS ACT (CPRA)
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) is a comprehensive privacy law in California that was approved by voters through a ballot initiative known as Proposition 24 in November 2020. Building upon the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the CPRA enhances privacy protections for consumers and imposes additional obligations on businesses that collect and process personal information.
Key provisions of the CPRA include:
California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA): The establishment of the CPPA, an agency dedicated to enforcing and implementing privacy laws in the state.
Sensitive Personal Information: Introducing the concept of "sensitive personal information" with stricter controls and rights for consumers regarding this category of data.
Expanded Consumer Rights: Providing consumers with more control over the use of their personal information, including the ability to limit the processing of sensitive data.
Data Minimization: Encouraging businesses to limit the collection of personal information to what is necessary for the disclosed purpose.
Limitations on Data Retention: Requiring businesses to specify the period for which personal information will be retained.
Enhanced Fines: Increased fines for privacy violations, particularly those involving the personal information of minors.
Right to Correct Inaccurate Information: Granting consumers the right to correct inaccurate personal information held by businesses.
The CPRA represents a significant step toward strengthening privacy rights and holding businesses accountable for the responsible handling of personal information. It came into effect on January 1, 2023, with a two-year look-back provision, meaning that businesses must generally comply with its requirements for personal information collected on or after January 1, 2022.
