New Privacy Law Takes Center Stage
California's new Consumer Privacy Act gives consumers the nation's strongest protections for their personal data, backers contend. But business interests, including the California Chamber of Commerce, and tech associations call the law a “serious threat to the economy” that will result in a barrage of class-action lawsuits without providing benefits to consumers. The new law, which was approved by Gov. Jerry Brown in June and goes into effect in 2020, gives consumers the right to access their personal information collected by big businesses. It gives them the right to delete it, the right to know what information is being sold and the right to stop businesses from selling their information.
