"The state's privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act or CCPA, requires many companies to respect California customers' and job applicants' rights to know, delete and correct information that businesses collect about them, and to opt-out of some types of sharing and use. It also requires companies to give notice of these rights, along with other information, to customers, job applicants, and others. (Bonus tip: Have a complaint about something else, such as a data breach? Go to the CA Attorney General.)"
"The first question offers a list of rights people have under the CCPA, such as a right to delete or a right to correct sensitive personal information. So, for example, if you've asked ABC Company to delete your information, but they have refused, you'd select "Right to Delete." This helps the agency categorize your complaint and tie it directly to the requirements in the law. The form then asks for the names of businesses, contractors, or people you want to report."
Enforcement hinges on consumer complaints, and a consumer complaint recently triggered California's largest privacy-law fine. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants rights to know, delete, and correct collected information, allows opt-outs of certain sharing and use, and requires companies to provide notice of those rights. For other complaints such as data breaches, direct reports to the California Attorney General are recommended. Consumers can file complaints at the California Privacy Protection Agency website (cppa.ca.gov) by clicking 'File a Complaint' or using a paper form. The complaint form explains the agency's privacy practices, asks which CCPA right was affected, requests business names, and asks if the complainant is a California resident.
