Existing law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), grants to a consumer various rights with respect to personal information, as defined, that is collected by a business, as defined, including the right to request that a business delete personal information about the consumer that the business has collected from the consumer. Existing law, the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020, an initiative measure approved by the voters as Proposition 24 at the November 3, 2020, statewide general election, amended, added to, and reenacted the CCPA. The CCPA establishes the California Privacy Protection Agency with full administrative power, authority, and jurisdiction to implement and enforce the CCPA.
Existing law authorizes the California Privacy Protection Agency to, upon the sworn complaint of any person or on its own initiative,
investigate possible violations of the CCPA relating to any business, service provider, contractor, or person. Existing law requires the agency to notify in writing the person who made the complaint of the action, if any, the agency has taken or plans to take on the complaint, together with the reasons for that action or nonaction.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
