Businesses must enable and comply with a consumer’s request to opt out of selling personal information to third parties, with certain exceptions.
US Legal Forms and the CCPA
We handle your personal information in compliance with The California Consumer Privacy Act, giving you control over your data and enhancing privacy protection.
What is the CCPA?
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a law implemented by the state of California to provide California residents with greater control over their personal information. The CCPA sets guidelines for companies on how to collect, process, store, delete, and share consumer personal information with third parties.
The CCPA applies to any for-profit business that buys, sells, collects, or shares the personal information of California residents and meets at least one of the specified thresholds. As of January 2024, these thresholds are as follows:
$25M
The business generates $25 million or more in annual revenue
100K
The business collects, purchases, sells, or shares the personal information of more than 100,000 consumers.
50%
The business earns at least 50% of its annual revenue from selling or sharing personal information.
The primary obligations imposed by the CCPA
Businesses must allow customers to exercise their rights related to personal information, including the rights to access, correct, and delete their personal information.
Companies must disclose their privacy practices to customers in a clear and plain manner.
A California resident may use an authorized agent to submit a right-to-know request or a request to delete personal data. A resident must provide the agent with written authorization.
