The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a law that gives residents of California more control over their personal information. It allows individuals to know what data companies collect about them, how it is used, and with whom it is shared. Consumers can also request that their data be deleted and can opt out of the sale of their information. CCPA applies to many businesses that collect personal data from California residents, including large companies and online services. This law aims to enhance privacy rights and ensure that consumers have a say in how their information is handled in the digital age.
