The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 have fundamentally changed how businesses approach privacy compliance. The statutes established, for the first time in the United States, a comprehensive data privacy regulatory scheme. However, that scheme is complex and does not fully comport with privacy-related regulatory schemes outside of the United States or privacy-related schemes that have been subsequently enacted in other states.

This reference guide collects over 500 of the most common questions concerning the CCPA and the CPRA and provides straightforward and easy to understand answers in one place. The questions are organized in a logical progression to cover the history of the statutes, general privacy-related concepts, compliance-program related issues, and the impact of the statutes on specific industries.

However you interact with the CCPA and CPRA––as an attorney, a chief privacy officer, a data protection officer, or a business leader––this reference book is for you.
