The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a comprehensive privacy law that went into effect on January 1, 2020. The law aims to protect the personal data of California residents and provides consumers with more control over their personal information. But who does the CCPA apply to? In this article, we'll explore the scope of the CCPA and who is affected by the law.

The CCPA applies to businesses that collect personal information from California residents, regardless of whether the business is based in California or not. The law defines a business as any for-profit entity that collects personal information from consumers, sells or shares that information, or uses it for targeted advertising.

However, the CCPA does not apply to all businesses. The law only applies to businesses that meet certain thresholds. Specifically, the CCPA applies to businesses that:

  • Have annual gross revenues of $25 million or more;
  • Buy, sell, or share the personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households, or devices;
  • Derive 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling consumers' personal information.

Additionally, the CCPA applies to businesses that provide products or services to California residents, even if the business is not based in California. This means that businesses that operate online or have a physical presence in California, such as a store or office, may be subject to the CCPA.

So, who is affected by the CCPA? The law applies to a wide range of businesses, including:

  • E-commerce companies;
  • Social media platforms;
  • Online marketplaces;
  • Financial institutions;
  • Healthcare providers;
  • Education institutions;
  • Government agencies;
  • And many others.

If your business meets the thresholds outlined above, you are likely subject to the CCPA. To stay compliant, you'll need to implement measures to protect consumers' personal information, provide them with transparency and control over their data, and comply with the law's requirements for data breaches and other incidents.

In this article, we'll explore the scope of the CCPA, who is affected by the law, and what you need to do to stay compliant. We'll also provide guidance on how to implement CCPA compliance measures, including:

  • Identifying personal information;
  • Providing transparency and control over personal information;
  • Complying with data breach notification requirements;
  • And more.
