Data Sale

Under the CCPA, the sale of personal information includes any disclosure of personal information to another business or 3rd party in exchange for value of any kind (monetary or other). A data sale does NOT include: -disclosure of personal information directed by the consumer (or where a consumer intentionally interacts with a 3rd party through the business) -Data shared with the 3rd parties in order to effectively implement a consumer's decision to opt-out from data sales. -Data shared with vendors as necessary to provide services to the business. Such vendors are called service providers. However, to avoid data sales, service providers must have a written contract with the business that prohibits retention, use or disclosure of personal information except to provide services to the business.

Federal Privacy Law

While there is currently no federal privacy law, the passage of the CCPA has increased interest at the federal level for enacting a general US Privacy law. This interest is in part because of the belief that without federal intervention the CCPA may become the de facto national standard and in part because of concerns of inconsistent state requirements. The biggest issue/concern is whether this US Privacy Statute would preempt state privacy protections. Preemption occurs when a federal statute overrides an inconsistent state statute, such as the prohibition in the CAN-SPAM law on state laws that expressly regulates the use of electronic mail to send commercial messages. The preemption debate takes place principally between industry, which generally favors broad preemption, and "privacy advocates" - meaning those public interest groups, academics and others who generally support stricter privacy laws.

CPRA

California Privacy Rights Act - if enacted by voters, this initiative would significantly expand individual rights and business obligations, for example, by preventing "sensitive personal information" from being used for advertising purposes.

These rights include: - the right to request disclosure of businesses data collection and sales practices - the right to request specific personal information collected - the right to request specific personal information collected - the right to have certain information deleted - the right to request that PII not be sold to 3rd parties - and the right not to be discriminated against because of exercising these rights.

Limited the Use of Social Security Numbers

Many states have laws limiting the use of social security numbers. California law, prohibits businesses as well as state and local agencies from using Social Security numbers for a variety of purposes including public posting, printing on mailings (unless mandated by federal law) and printing on ID or membership cards. This law also prohibits businesses from requiring that customers transmit their Social Security numbers over an unencrypted internet connection.
