New Rights and Obligations under CCPA

As of 1 January 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is in force and companies hoping they would be granted a further six months of respite from enforcement while final regulations are being promulgated, might be in for a rude awakening.  Attorney General Xavier Becerra has stated that the CCPA compliance deadline will remain 1 January which means that, once the AG’s office will start enforcing it, it will be taking on violations retroactively to the beginning of 2020.
