CCPA overview :

Businesses have a track record of using personal information to benefit their own agenda : the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) will serve to protect California consumer rights and encourage stronger privacy and greater transparency overall.

Matrix environment

The client's legal and technology teams

Impact to the Internal / External Customer :

Internal : Under CCPA / GDPR law companies have to be compliant / prepared, if not addressed in 30 days there will be a civil action lawsuit / fine

Business Challenge :

This Role will support the GDPR / CCPA program compliance. GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation, an EU mandate regarding the privacy and security of EU citizen’s data.

The initial deadline for compliance to GDPR was May 25th, 2018. The penalty for not being compliant or having a defensible plan of reconciliation is a fine of 4% of the company’s global revenue.

CCPA (California consumer privacy act) is an American version / evolution of GDPR. It went into effect in California on Jan 2020.

More states are to follow and companies MUST start doing this now in order to protect themselves from potential civil lawsuits / and fines.

Governments are beginning to take data privacy very seriously. Like the GDPR, the CCPA will have far-reaching impacts across state jurisdictions.

And, although the CCPA just went into effect, we’ve learned from the GDPR that there isn’t a lot of time to become compliant.

It’s important to start preparing now : being prepared will save a company a lot of headaches (and costly enforcement actions) in the future.

Meeting subject access requests whether for GDPR, CCPA, or another regulation can be especially difficult to achieve : you need to be able to identify content related to a data subject, classify and protect consumer data, and sometimes even delete upon request.
