CCPA - California Consumer Privacy Act

Most privacy programs stall at the same point. Nobody can say with confidence where consumer personal information sits across the business. EzSecure discovers and classifies that information across your storage environments, so your CCPA initiatives start from a real picture instead of a guess.

Understanding the California Consumer Privacy Act

CCPA was written to give California residents more say over the personal information that businesses hold about them. Here is what that means in practice, without the legal drafting.

What CCPA Is

A California state law that grants consumers rights such as knowing what personal information a business collects and asking that it be deleted or corrected.

Why was it Introduced

Consumers increasingly expect businesses to know what they hold and to respond when asked. CCPA turns that expectation into a set of enforceable rights.

Who it applies to

Any organization that collects information from California residents and meets certain size or revenue thresholds should factor CCPA into its privacy planning.

Why visibility comes first

None of the consumer rights above can be honored reliably if nobody in the business knows where the underlying information actually sits.

Consumer information spreads out quietly, one export at a time

It rarely happens on purpose. A spreadsheet gets pulled for a campaign, a CRM export lands in a shared folder, an old customer list survives three system migrations. Over a few years, personal information ends up scattered across places nobody is actively watching.
