CCPA-Compliant Communication Tools for California Businesses

What Is the CCPA?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a data privacy law that gives California residents greater control over how businesses collect, use, and share their personal information. It applies to many private-sector companies that handle consumer data, regardless of where the company is located, if they serve California residents or meet certain thresholds.

CCPA grants rights such as data access, deletion, and the ability to opt out of the sale of personal information. It also requires businesses to provide clear disclosures and implement reasonable security measures to protect consumer data.
