The CCPA regulations govern compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act. They provide guidance to businesses on how to inform consumers of their rights under the CCPA, how to handle consumer requests, how to verify the identity of consumers making requests, and how to apply the law as it relates to minors. In doing so, the regulations make it easier for consumers to exercise their CCPA rights.
The regulations went into effect on August 14, 2020. Additional amendments to the regulations went into effect on March 15, 2021. Below are the documents that were submitted to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL). Anyone who submitted a comment regarding the regulations has the right to request a copy of the final statement of reasons.
In November 2020, voters approved Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, establishing the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) to implement and enforce the California Consumer Privacy Act. On October 21, 2021, the CPPA provided notice to the Attorney General that it was prepared to assume rulemaking responsibilities. Rulemaking authority transfers from the Attorney General to the CPPA six months after this notice.
