Comparing Privacy Laws: GDPR v. CCPA
In November 2018, OneTrust DataGuidance and FPF partnered to publish a guide to the key differences between the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA).
Since then, a series of bills, signed by the California Governor on 11 October 2019, amended the CCPA to exempt from its application certain categories of data and to provide different requirements for submission of consumer requests, among other things. The Guide has been updated to take into account these amendments.
Finally, the California Attorney General issued, on 10 October 2019, Proposed Regulations under the CCPA which are intended to provide practical guidance to consumers and businesses. The Proposed Regulations were open for public consultation until 6 December 2019 and, when finalised, will provide an additional layer of regulatory requirements that companies will have to comply with.
This updated Guide aims to assist organisations in understanding and comparing the relevant provisions of the GDPR and the CCPA, to ensure compliance with both laws.
