California Privacy Rights Act

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), also referred to by its original title as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), is a comprehensive consumer privacy law that requires covered businesses to follow strict privacy requirements with respect to the personal information they collect about consumers.

The law’s broad provisions also encompass personal information collected about employees, job applicants and independent contractors, meaning employers must follow CPRA requirements as discussed in further detail below in relation to the collection of such personal information.
