California Consumer Privacy Act: What businesses need to know

The Golden State is adopting a new online privacy law that will control how major tech businesses—like Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Uber—collect and use the personal data of their users, as reported by The Washington Post on June 27, 2018. The California Consumer Privacy Act allows residents to know what personal information companies have collected on them, and opt out of having their data sold.

The Act officially passed on June 28, 2018, which means consumers will be allowed to learn how their personal data is used, without being charged a fee or provided less service upon asking. Additionally, California’s attorney general would have the power to fine businesses that don’t secure consumers’ personal data against cyber attacks, The Post noted.
