The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) grants to a consumer various rights with respect to personal information, as defined, that is collected by a business, as defined, including by requiring a business that controls the collection of a consumer's personal information to, at or before the point of collection, make certain disclosures to the consumer. The CCPA excludes from the definition of "personal information" publicly available information or lawfully obtained, truthful information that is a matter of public concern and defines "publicly available" for that purpose to mean, among other things, information that is lawfully made available from federal, state, or local government records or information that a business has a reasonable basis to believe is lawfully made available to the general public by the consumer or from widely distributed media, except as prescribed. The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, approved by the voters as Proposition 24 at the November 3, 2020, statewide general election, amended, added to, and reenacted the CCPA. The CCPA establishes the California Privacy Protection Agency and vests it with full administrative power, authority, and jurisdiction to implement and enforce the CCPA.
This bill would specify that personal information can exist in various formats.
The California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 authorizes the Legislature to amend the act to further the purposes and intent of the act by a majority vote of both houses of the Legislature, as specified.
This bill would declare that its provisions further the purposes and intent of the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020.
