CCPA isn't just about avoiding fines - it's about proactively protecting customer data. Briskinfosec helps you build a privacy-first culture. We analyze your data flows, implement robust safeguards, and train your team on best practices. Gain peace of mind knowing your data is secure and your business is prepared for the evolving privacy landscape. Trust Briskinfosec for comprehensive CCPA implementation.
Implementing CCPA compliance involves key steps: Identifying and classifying all collected data, updating privacy policies, training staff, and conducting regular data risk assessments and compliance audits. Our structured 25-week approach ensures your organization meets CCPA requirements and effectively protects consumer privacy.
You'll need to understand what data your organization collects, where it's stored, and how it's used. This data inventory will help determine CCPA applicability and facilitate responding to consumer requests.
The CCPA grants California residents specific rights regarding their personal information. These include the right to access, deletion, and opting out of the sale of their data. Familiarize yourself with these rights.
Evaluate the security risks associated with your data collection and storage practices. This will help you implement appropriate safeguards.
Review and revise your privacy policy to reflect CCPA requirements. It should clearly explain what data you collect, how you use it, and consumer rights under CCPA.
Establish procedures for handling consumer requests to access, delete, or opt-out of the sale of their data. This includes creating a system to receive, verify, and respond to these requests efficiently.
Adjust data permission and access controls to restrict unauthorized access to personal information. You may also need to upgrade systems or software to ensure CCPA compliance.
Schedule annual reviews of your privacy policy to keep it up-to-date with any legal or business changes.
Train your staff on CCPA requirements to ensure they understand how to handle consumer data and respond to requests appropriately.
Regularly evaluate the data you collect and remove any unnecessary personal information to reduce risk.
Conduct periodic audits to assess the effectiveness of your CCPA compliance program and identify areas for improvement.

| Aspect | GDPR | CCPA | CPRA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effective Date | May 25, 2018 | January 1, 2020 | January 1, 2023 (fully effective July 1, 2023) |
| Scope | Personal data of EU residents | Personal data of California residents | Personal data of California residents |
| Governing Body | Data Protection Authorities (DPAs) in EU member states | California Attorney General | California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) |
| Key Rights | Right to access, rectification, restriction, data portability, and objection | Right to know, right to delete, right to opt-out of sale, right to non-discrimination | Adds right to correct inaccurate data, expands right to opt-out to include sharing, and strengthens data minimization requirements |
| Business Applicability | Businesses processing data of EU residents, regardless of location | For-profit businesses meeting certain criteria (e.g., revenues over $25 million, data of 50,000+ consumers, 50% revenue from data sales) | Expands CCPA scope, includes data sharing, new definition of sensitive personal information |
| Data Breach Notification | Must notify within 72 hours | No specific time frame, must be "in the most expedient time possible" | Similar to CCPA, with additional requirements for high-risk data processing |
| Consumer Rights Requests | Must respond within one month | Must respond within 45 days | Similar to CCPA, but with additional obligations for responding to consumer rights requests |
| Data Protection Officer | Required for certain types of processing | Not specifically required | Not specifically required, but likely beneficial for compliance with enhanced obligations |
Google, LLC reached a settlement in a stipulated judgment, agreeing to pay $93 million to address allegations that its practices concerning location privacy violated California consumer protection laws. Following a multi-year investigation, it was found that Google misled users by gathering, storing, and utilizing their location data for purposes such as consumer profiling and advertising without proper consent. As part of the settlement, Google committed to implementing significant measures to prevent future misconduct, including enhancing user information visibility when activating location-related account settings, providing clearer insights into its location tracking practices, and ensuring rigorous internal review and documentation of any substantial updates to location and ads personalization disclosures impacting privacy.
Uber Technologies, Inc. has agreed to a $148 million nationwide settlement, concluding allegations of violating data breach notification and reasonable data security laws related to a 2016 incident. During this breach, Uber neglected to inform regulators and users about the compromise of personal information, opting instead to conceal it for over a year and pay $100,000 to hackers for confidentiality. The settlement includes stringent injunctive terms mandating Uber to uphold a Corporate Integrity Program, integrate privacy-by-design principles, and establish a comprehensive information security program. California's portion of the settlement, approximately $25.6 million, will be divided between our office and the San Francisco District Attorney's Office.
In a finalized court judgment, Lenovo Corporation agreed to pay $3.5 million to resolve a multi-state investigation alleging the unlawful installation of ad-injecting software on its computers, compromising their security.

As part of the agreement, Lenovo must implement stringent measures to prevent future misconduct, including transparent disclosures on the functionality of pre-installed advertising software, obtaining consumer consent before activation, and providing effective opt-out options. California will receive $389,204, the largest portion among the 32 states involved in the settlement, which was coordinated with the Federal Trade Commission.
Citibank consented to a final judgment following a breach of its Citibank Online platform due to a known technical vulnerability, impacting more than 80,000 California account holders.
