There is a fair amount of confusion surrounding the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPPA), which was enacted in early 2018 and is set to go into force in early 2020, including its alignment with other privacy regulations like the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The California Consumer Privacy Act Practical Guide was published by Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLC), which addresses clients’ frequently asked questions regarding the CCPA. Regarding the question “if a data subject submits an access or deletion request directly to a service provider, is the service provider required to respond to the data subject?” the CCPA states that a consumer has the right to request that a “business that collects a consumer’s personal information” disclose the “specific pieces of personal information … collected.”
