California voters recently approved the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA). This new privacy law significantly expands California residents’ privacy rights beyond those previously created by the California Consumer Privacy Act. This presentation discusses the new and expanded privacy rights afforded by the CPRA, the clarifications it provides to existing privacy law, and action items for businesses subject to the CPRA. In comparing the CPRA to the existing landscape of U.S. privacy law, this presentation addresses the immediate and future privacy implications for companies that do business in California.
