California will become the first state in the country to have a comprehensive data privacy law when the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) goes into effect on Wednesday. The law is not enforceable until July 1 or six months after the final rule is released, but California has hinted that companies could be sanctioned retroactively if they disregard the new rules on Jan. 1. The bill is expected to allow Californians to view the information that companies have collected about them, and to opt out of that collection.”]
