The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) - An implementation and compliance guide

The CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) is a data privacy law that took effect on January 1, 2020. It applied to businesses that collect California residents’ personal information, and its privacy requirements are similar to those of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). On May 4, 2020, Californians for Consumer Privacy (an advocacy group, founded by Alistair MacTaggart) announced that it had collected more than 900,000 signatures to qualify the CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act) for the November 2020 ballot. Also known as ‘CCPA 2.0’, the CPRA enhances privacy protections established by the CCPA and builds on consumer rights. CPRA effectively replaces the CCPA and bolsters privacy protections for California consumers. While many elements of the two laws are similar, there are some striking differences that could impact CPRA implementation plans. Organizations that fail to comply with the CPRA’s requirements are subject to civil penalties of up to $7,500 and a civil suit that gives every affected consumer the right to seek between $100 and $750 in damages per incident, or actual damages if higher. The law is complex and requires careful reading to understand the actual requirements for organizations – The California Privacy Rights Act – An implementation and compliance guide is here to help you. This book is your ideal resource for understanding the CPRA and how you can implement a strategy to ensure your organization complies with the legislation. It will give you a comprehensive understanding of the legislation by providing definitions of key terms, explanations of the security requirements, details of the breach notification procedure, and covering the penalties for noncompliance.
