More Laws? No Problem!

Like the weather in Kansas and unlike a zebra’s stripes, data privacy regulations are always changing. At least we can count on those changes to emerge consistently out of California.

The Scale of the Problem

Five years ago, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was the only US data privacy law on the books. Today, figuring out “which laws apply to us” requires a spreadsheet—and it’s growing quickly.

In its most-recent enforcement report, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA, or CalPrivacy) disclosed that it’s received over 12 thousand consumer complaints since the CCPA went into effect. Consumers are raising the alarm over data privacy practices, and regulators are listening.
