Welcome to the California Legislative Information website!

<br/><br/>We are pleased to announce a new tracking feature that will notify you when a bill that proposes changes to the Political Reform Act is published to the California Legislative Information website pursuant to section 81012.5 of the Government Code.  The feature will also subscribe you to the bill.  Once subscribed, email notifications will be sent as the Political Reform Act bill moves through the legislative process.  Visit the site’s FAQ page for additional information.
<br/><br/>Measures prior to 1999 can still be found at <a href='http://leginfo.ca.gov'>http://leginfo.ca.gov</a> which will remain as an archive for legislative information.</div></div>

This landmark law secures new privacy rights for California consumers, including:

		<li>The <a href="#sectionc">right to know</a> about the personal information a business collects about them and how it is used and shared;</li>
		<li>The <a href="#sectiond">right to delete</a> personal information collected from them (with some exceptions);</li>

		<li>The <a href="#sectionf">right to limit</a> the use and disclosure of sensitive personal information collected about them.
	</ul>
</p>

<p><a href="#sectiona">Businesses</a> that are subject to the CCPA have several responsibilities, including responding to consumer requests to exercise these rights and giving consumers certain <a href="#sectiond">notices explaining their privacy practices</a>. The CCPA applies to many businesses, including <a href="#sectiong">data brokers</a>.</p>

<p>CPRA amends the CCPA; it does not create a separate, new law.  As a result, our office typically refers to the law as “CCPA” or “CCPA, as amended.”</p>

        <p>Businesses that sell or share personal information must offer two or more methods for consumers to submit requests to opt-out of the sale of their personal information. For businesses that collect personal information from consumers online, one acceptable method for consumers to opt-out of sales or sharing is via a user-enabled global privacy control, like the <a href="https://globalprivacycontrol.org/" target="_blank">GPC</a>.  Developed in response to the CCPA and to enhance consumer privacy rights, the GPC is a ‘stop selling or sharing my data switch’ that is available on some internet browsers, like Mozilla Firefox, Duck Duck Go, and Brave, or as a browser extension. It is a proposed technical standard that reflects what the CCPA regulations contemplated – some consumers want a comprehensive option that broadly signals their opt-out request, as opposed to making requests on multiple websites on different browsers or devices. Opting out of the sale or sharing of personal information should be easy for consumers, and the GPC is one option for consumers who want to submit requests to opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information via a user-enabled global privacy control.
