In an attempt to seemingly double down on the European Union’s 2016 General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the hastily drafted, hotly contested CCPA, is considered one of the strictest privacy laws in the United States. It takes effect on January 1, 2020, and has wrapped businesses in a swathe of new terms, ambiguous requirements and hefty penalties.
