About CCPA:

10 things to know about CCPA

1. One of the cornerstones to the CCPA is a consumer's right to access their personal data. California
residents can ask ride-hailing services, retailers, cable TV companies, mobile service providers and
other businesses that collect data for commercial purposes to disclose what information they are
collecting, such as location or voice recordings, according to The New York Times. 

2. Following suit, consumers can also request information on what kinds of third parties, such as app
developers, a company is selling their data to. The consumer can request logs of their personal
online activities, ride-hailing routes, facial data and ad-targeting data. 

3. Consumers also now have the right know how a company perceives them or any specific
inferences a company has made about a consumer. This includes predictions about their buying
behavior, intelligence or attitudes. 

4. Facebook, which has come under fire for how it collects and shares data on consumers, along with
Microsoft and Twitter have adopted or created automated systems that allow users to download
copies of their data that has been collected. 

5. California employees also now have the right to ask their employers the categories of personal
information they are collecting, such as online activity data and mobile phone location data,
according to NYT. 

6. If a consumer does not want the company to store their data, they can request that their
information be deleted.

7. California consumers can also opt-out of having their information sold. Apps, websites and other
organizations that sell consumers’ data for compensation must include a "Do Not Sell My Data" alert
for consumers. 

8. Companies may ask consumers for their driver's license or another form of identification to verify
who they will be sharing the data with. If a consumer makes a request, the company must
acknowledge the request in 10 days and deliver the information within 45 days.  

9. The CCPA comes with a hefty price tag. The Berkeley Economic Advising and Research assessment
estimates that it will cost companies $55 billion to become complaint with the privacy legislation,
according to The Hill.  

10. Many of these costs will also come from "small" businesses. The Department of Justice estimates
that the CCPA will affect between 15,000 and 40,000 businesses, with up to 50 percent being small
businesses. This could be viewed as a contradiction for the law, which was supposed to target large
companies, such as Facebook.
