California Consumer Privacy Act: Proposed Regulations

On October 10, 2019, the California Attorney General published proposed regulations to implement the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). While the proposed regulations do not address every area of concern for businesses, they do clear up some of the ambiguities that have plagued the CCPA since it was enacted in 2018.

Additionally, the proposed regulations clarify the requirements for certain critical obligations imposed on covered businesses, including the contents and delivery of the initial disclosure (now referred to as the Notice at Collection), the contents and delivery of the online privacy policy (hint, it’s not only online), and how to verify and respond to consumer requests for information or deletion. New training and recordkeeping requirements are also proposed.

Please join us at the November Telephone Briefing at which we will discuss the proposed CCPA regulations. The CCPA becomes effective on January 1, 2020. Download Handout Here!

California Consumer Privacy Act: Recent Amendments

On October 13, 2019, the California governor signed a number of amendments to the CCPA. In addition to making technical corrections, the amendments created two significant new exemptions from the CCPA. The first exempts personal information held in connection with business customers and business or commercial transactions, the other exempts information on employees, job applicants and contractors. The new exemptions are good news for California financial institutions but will apply for only one year — during 2020. In addition, the “employee” exemption does not exempt businesses from the requirement to give the CCPA’s Notice at Collection and Privacy Policy to job applicants, employees and contractors.

We will discuss the new exemptions and other aspects of the new amendments at the November Telephone Briefing. Download Handout Here!
