Laws & Regulations
In November 2020, California voters passed Proposition 24, which amended the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA") and established the California Privacy Protection Agency ("CalPrivacy"). CalPrivacy is responsible for implementing and enforcing the CCPA as well as the Delete Act, which creates additional requirements unique to data brokers. To fulfill its duties, CalPrivacy is authorized to adopt and amend regulations through the Administrative Procedures Act rulemaking process under both laws.
