The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants California residents greater rights over their data. Likened to the GDPR in the EU, the CCPA offers potentially expensive punishments to those that fail to meet the requirements. It can apply to UK organisations that have operations in California or deal with personal information of California residents. It enables data subjects to know what personal data is being collected and whether it is being passed on to third parties, allows them the opportunity to opt-out of data collection, and provides the right to be forgotten.”]
