History and Background of CCPA
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was enacted in 2018 and marked a significant milestone in the realm of data privacy and legislation in the United States. The CCPA emerged in response to growing concerns about how companies collect, store, and use personal information, driven by high-profile data breaches and increasing public awareness about data privacy issues. The journey of the CCPA began with a grassroots movement led by privacy advocates and concerned citizens. The catalyst for this movement was the realization that existing laws were inadequate to protect consumers’ personal information in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. In June 2018, the California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 375, which Governor Jerry Brown signed into law, giving birth to the CCPA.
The Act officially came into effect on January 1, 2020.
