California Consumer Privacy Act
Product Description
This course provides training for staff of companies that deal with personal data on Californian residents or that do business in California
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a law effective from 1 January 2020 that enhances consumer privacy rights. To comply with these new requirements, employees from any company that collects personal data from California residents, that does business in California, and that meets the revenue or data collection thresholds, must know how to act on their legal obligations.
Case studies appear throughout the lessons, helping to place the training into a vivid practical context. The course contains a fresh look and feel that is intended to maximize learners’ active engagement throughout the training, without distracting them from the key concepts.
This two-module course covers what the scope of the CCPA is, categories of personal data affected and your obligations in relation to the six consumer rights that underpin the legislation.
