California Regulators Win Their Appeal to Enforce the CCPA Revised Regulations as of July 1, 2023 In a significant ruling on February 9, 2024, the California Court of Appeal reversed a trial court judgment that had stayed enforcement of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations. This decision will make certain CCPA regulations, which had previously been stayed by court order, become immediately effective once again. This means businesses subject to the CCPA (generally those doing business in California or collecting data on California residents) need to comply with the regulations as of July 1, 2023. This means that businesses that meet the threshold requirements of the California law will need to review their data practices and ensure they comply with the regulations including; Providing consumers with clear information about how their data is collected and used; Allowing consumers to access, delete, and correct their data; Opt-out mechanisms for the sale of personal information. Previously, businesses had until March 2024 to adjust. Now, immediate compliance is expected. This decision applies to existing regulations, but the California Privacy Protection Agency is working on additional ones. Businesses should anticipate no grace period for future regulations once approved. For companies that slow-tracked their California compliance activities because of the tentative March 29, 2024, effective date due to the pending appeal on the regulation enforcement timeline, it is now time to prioritize compliance.

🚨#NEW: Tuesday, Governor McKee enacted the Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act (#RIDTPPA), making Rhode Island the 19th state overall and the 7th state in 2024 to enact a comprehensive privacy law. A blog post by FPF’s Policy Counsel for U.S. Legislation Jordan Francis focuses on three aspects of #RIDTPPA: 1️⃣ Commercial websites and internet service providers that collect, store, and sell personally identifiable information (PII) have to provide a privacy notice identifying the third parties to whom they have sold or may sell PII. 2️⃣ #RIDTPPA lacks core obligations and rights that the majority of state comprehensive privacy laws include, such as a data minimization obligation. 3️⃣ The law’s civil penalties are higher than what is typical under comparable laws, for example, violations for intentionally disclosing personal data in violation of the law come with an additional penalty of $100-500 per disclosure. Dive further into highlights of #RIDTPPA and how it compares to other privacy laws ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gTkefBF7
