UPDATE: California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018

California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 on June 28, 2018. This first of its kind US privacy law will give California residents new online privacy protections and will dramatically impact how companies handle their data. Much like the EU’s GDPR, businesses across the U.S. and around the globe will need to assess how they collect, process and share California resident personal data. The new Act goes into effect on January 1, 2020.
