CCPA
The CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, is California's consumer privacy law giving residents rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.
Also: CCPA, CPRA, California Consumer Privacy Act
The California Consumer Privacy Act, expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act, is the leading state privacy law in the United States. It gives California residents rights to know what personal information a business collects, to delete and correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing, with additional protections for sensitive personal information.
Unlike the GDPR’s consent-first model, the CCPA centers on disclosure and an opt-out, most visibly the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” control that businesses must honor, including signals such as Global Privacy Control.
For CIAM, the CCPA means a platform serving California customers has to surface these choices, record them, and enforce them across downstream uses of identity and profile data. It is also the template that many other US state privacy laws follow.
