CCPA vs CPRA: What are their differences?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants consumers rights related to the collection, use, and sale of their personal data—and prevents businesses from discriminating against them for exercising those rights.

Signed into law in June 2018, the new regulation comes as a response to a multitude of businesses, targeting Silicon Valley firms that are making headlines for mishandling or exploiting private data. The CCPA focuses on making sure organizations have a business purpose for why they need personal information while enabling Californians to readily request, delete, or protect their personal information (PI) collected and governed by a business.

Summary of the CPRA
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) is a new state-wide data privacy bill passed into law on November 3, 2020.

It underscores California’s position as the US frontier in data privacy legislation, as it significantly expands upon the existing California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) that took effect on January 1, 2020.

In short, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) works as an addendum to the CCPA – strengthening the rights of California residents, tightening business regulations on the use of personal information (PI), and establishing a new government agency for state-wide data privacy enforcement called the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), among key changes to the Golden State’s data privacy regime.
