Overview of Understanding the CCPA and What Lies Ahead

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as significantly expanded by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), represents one of the most comprehensive consumer data privacy frameworks in the United States.

It also examines the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), the first dedicated state privacy enforcement body of its kind, and what its authority means for compliance obligations. With California privacy law continuing to develop through rulemaking and enforcement, this session helps organizations understand where the law stands today and how to anticipate what comes next.
