The CCPA has entered into effect on January 1, 2020. The purpose of the AG Regulations is to provide guidance to businesses on how to comply with the CCPA and to enhance consumers’ ability to exercise their rights over their personal information.
Although the proposed amendments to the AG Regulations were subject to the public comments, you should still get acquainted with them because you may be required to adjust your operations accordingly.
The scope of the previous set of modifications to the AG Regulations was broad and covered disclosure obligations, accessibility standards of privacy notices, use of personal information by service providers, procedural requirements to process access and deletion requests and record keeping obligations.
The current set is narrower in scope, and relates to an offline notice of the right to opt out, consumer-friendly methods for submitting requests to opt-out and authorized agent’s permission to act on behalf of the consumer.
Please note – our description below is not exhaustive and should not be read as a substitute to the full formal version of the modifications, which are available here.
