EUs GDPR vs California’s mini GDPR- CCPA | The New Privacy Act of 2018

Earlier this year (25th May 2018 to be precise), we had the European Union’s GDPR, which in many terms is a milestone in the digital age. It gives the EU and the EEA citizens more transparency of why, how and where their information is being used. That at the same time gave out some major hiccups to many local and international businesses all over the world.
Now, following the footsteps of the European Parliament and Council of the European Union we have here a new regulation- “CCPA”. A law for California, to give Californians the ‘who, where, what, and when’ of how businesses handle consumers’ personal information. Many of you must have already heard of it by now.
So, let us now discuss the main elements of this new California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018.

Effective Date & Deadline for CCPA- The Californian GDPR:

AB 375 California privacy act, officially known as the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 will become effective from January 1st, 2020 onwards. This unanimous bill, signed by Jerry Brown, Governor of California was passed on June 28 2018, which initially started back in February 2017.

How Similar?

The 2018 California Consumer Privacy Act is in many angles like a ‘lite’ version of “EU’s General Data Protection Regulation” for Califonia. They have a very similar set of rules regarding the data classification, business rules, and tracking and to address consent and preferences of the Californians.
