What is the California Consumer Privacy Act? | CCPA Explained

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was the first US law to provide and enhance consumers’ privacy rights and protections. It continues to be influential on other states’ legislation, and will be updated in 2023 with the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

CCPA and its successor, CPRA, establish zero rights for consumers.

It established a $10 million per annum fund for a board of unelected, unaccountable appointees headed by Jennifer Urban.

Consumers are allowed to report complaints to the board. Consumers are not allowed to sue.

If the board gets it wrong, meaning they don’t handle the complaint properly, there’s no recourse. Their process for handling complaints is non-transparent. They do whatever they want.

The CPPA board does not actually process claims. They hire sub appointees to take the claims. The sub appointees send you. They may send you back some junk mail inform you of your “rights“.

California privacy rights act establishes no consumer rights. It sets up a heavily funded board that is designed and optimized for corporate protection and revolving door, not consumer rights.
