ObservePoint Application: CCPA

Overview

On Jan 1, 2020, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) went into effect. CCPA is a state-wide data privacy law that regulates how businesses all over the world are allowed to handle the personal information (PI) of California residents.

While ObservePoint is not a comprehensive CCPA compliance solution, you can use it to help you validate compliance.
