2020 marks the beginning of the first comprehensive data privacy legislation in the US, the California Consumer Privacy Act. (CCPA). In 2018, California legislators passed a new set of laws designed to implement regulations on how an organization collects, stores and sells the personal data of California residents.
The law went into effect on January 1, 2020. But the sad reality is most companies are not yet compliant with all the regulations that are part of this new law.
