Understanding CCPA/CPRA Compliance: Key Consumer Rights
Effective compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) involves more than just checking off legal requirements. It demands a fundamental shift in how organizations handle data, enhancing operational efficiency and trust with consumers. Here’s a concise overview of the core consumer rights established by CCPA/CPRA and how CyberDiligent can assist your organization in navigating these obligations:
Core Consumer Rights
Right to Know - Consumers can request detailed information about their personal data, including: - What data is collected. - Sources of data collection. - Purposes for data collection and sharing. - Categories of third parties with whom data is shared. - Organizations must respond within 45 days, with one permissible extension.
Right to Delete - Consumers can ask for deletion of their personal information, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., legal obligations, public research). - This necessitates robust data management to identify and delete data across various systems.
Right to Opt-Out and Limit Use - Expanded opt-out rights enable consumers to: - Opt out of the sale or sharing of their data. - Limit the use of sensitive personal information.
Right to Correct - Consumers can request corrections to inaccurate personal information. - This raises the need for verification processes. CyberDiligent offers guidance on implementing effective verification methods to meet these requirements.
Right to Non-Discrimination - Organizations cannot penalize consumers for exercising their rights to privacy.
Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation
The CPRA emphasizes data minimization, requiring businesses to limit data collection, use, retention, and sharing to what is necessary for declared purposes.
Sensitive Personal Information Protections
CPRA expands protections for sensitive personal data, including Social Security numbers, precise geolocation, race, religion, health data, and more.
