The CPRA extended and strengthened the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), a groundbreaking law that had taken effect less than a year before. The privacy law is still generally referred to as the CCPA because the CPRA didn\u2019t create a new law or replace the CCPA. The CPRA amendments took effect in March 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Weighing in at 34 pages, the CPRA changes are extensive. They include additional rights for consumers and new obligations for businesses. A notable CPRA change is the creation of the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) that\u2019s responsible for implementing and enforcing the law.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d64000\">Jump to \u2193<\/span><\/p>\n<p>What does the California Privacy Rights Act protect?<\/p>\n<p>Who must comply with the California Privacy Rights Act?<\/p>\n<p>Consumer rights under the California Privacy Rights Act<\/p>\n<p>Business obligations under the California Privacy Rights Act<\/p>\n<p>CPRA enforcement<\/p>\n<p>CPRA private right of action<\/p>\n<p>Recent updates<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"What-does-the-California-Privacy-Rights-Act-protect?\"><span style=\"color: #d64000\">What does the California Privacy Rights Act protect?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The CCPA protects the privacy rights of California consumers, granting them various rights to their personal information that businesses collect.
