California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) & CPRA Compliance

Navigate California’s evolving privacy requirements with confidence through our CCPA and CPRA compliance services. We help organizations comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), by implementing structured privacy governance, consumer rights management, and data protection controls. Our approach enables lawful data processing, reduces regulatory exposure, and strengthens consumer trust across the United States.

Legal Overview

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is the most influential privacy law in the United States, governing how businesses collect, use, disclose, and share personaldata of California residents. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which came into effect in January 2023, significantly expanded the scope of CCPA by introducing enhanced consumer rights, stricter obligations for businesses, and the establishment of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) as a dedicated enforcement authority.

CCPA and CPRA apply to for-profit entities doing business in California that meet specific revenue, data volume, or data-sharing thresholds. Importantly, the law applies to organizations outside California and outside the US if they process personal data of California residents, making CCPA/CPRA compliance a critical requirement for global organizations targeting the US market.

Rights Under CCPA & CPRA

CCPA and CPRA grant California residents strong rights over their personal data, including the right to know what personal information is collected, the right to access and delete personal data, and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. CPRA further introduced rights related to correcting inaccurate data, limiting the use of sensitive personal information, and enhanced protections against discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights.These rights significantly increase transparency expectations and operational obligations for businesses.

Complying with CCPA & CPRA

Compliance with CCPA and CPRA requires organizations to implement consumer rights request mechanisms, update privacy notices, and establish processes to manage data access, deletion, and opt-out requests within statutory timelines. Businesses must also assess data sharing practices, implement reasonable security safeguards, and ensure vendor and service provider agreements meet CPRA contractual requirements.

The CPRA introduced higher compliance expectations, including purpose limitation, data minimization, and enhanced accountability, requiring organizations to move beyond basic CCPA readiness.

Penalties Under CCPA & CPRA

CCPA and CPRA are enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General. Penalties can reach up to USD 7,500 per intentiona violation and USD 2,500 per unintentional violation, with no statutory cap on total fines. Violations involving children’s personal data are subject to heightened enforcement. Regulatory investigations, corrective orders, and public enforcement actions pose significant financial and reputational risk for non-compliant organizations.

CCPA / CPRA & Other Global Privacy Laws

CCPA and CPRA align with global privacy frameworks such as the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and other international data protection laws, particularly in areas such as transparency, consumer rights, and accountability. For organizations operating across jurisdictions, CCPA/CPRA compliance is a core component of a unified global privacy governance strategy.
