Regulations That Apply to Clients Within the United States

Beyond CCPA, the United States is seeing a rise in state-specific data protection laws, each with its nuances. Notable examples include the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) and the New York SHIELD Act. While federal law remains less specific about data privacy, these state laws mark a significant move towards comprehensive data protection across the country.

Staying Compliant with GDPR

  7. Data Minimization and Purpose Limitation: Collect only the data necessary for specified, legitimate purposes.

Staying Compliant with CCPA

For CCPA compliance, organizations should focus on:

 

  1. Consumer Rights: Provide consumers with the right to know about the personal data collected, the purpose of collection, and the right to delete their data.
  2. Opt-Out Right: Allow consumers to opt out of the sale of their personal data.
  3. Data Mapping: Undertake data mapping to understand what data is collected, where it is stored, and how it is used.
  4. Privacy Policy Updates: Update privacy policies to include CCPA disclosure requirements.
  5. “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” Link: Implement and maintain a webpage link that allows consumers to opt out of the sale of their personal data.
