The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018 to combat the numerous data breaches in Big Tech from poorly defined access controls and privacy management. Modeled after the European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the new regulations give users the right to know when and how their information is being collected and sold, as well as the ability to opt-out.

CCPA compliance is a set of regulations that organizations must follow to protect the data privacy rights of users. It requires organizations to be transparent about their data collection and usage practices, to respond to consumer requests, and to implement reasonable security measures to protect user data.

The CCPA contains several key privacy provisions that organizations must comply with to protect the data privacy rights of users, including:

Right to Know: The CCPA gives consumers the right to what personal information an organization collects about them and how it is used and shared. Organizations must provide this information to consumers upon request.

Right to Delete: The CCPA gives consumers the right to request that organizations delete personal information collected from them (with some exceptions). Organizations must comply with these requests.

Right to Opt-Out: The CCPA gives consumers the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. Organizations must provide consumers with a clear and conspicuous link on their website to opt-out of selling their personal information.

Right to Limit Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: The CCPA gives consumers the right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected about them.

Private Right of Action: The CCPA requires organizations to protect the personal data of users. Therefore, consumers can sue an entity directly if the organization did not sufficiently protect their personal information through security means, such as encryption or redaction.

All personal data collection and processing processes carried out or may be carried out by EDDDEV LLC comply with CCPA standards.
