CCPA Privacy Notice

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act) Privacy Notice is a ‘notice at collection’ provided to customers about the types of Personal Information (PI) collected by the business along with the reason for collecting it. 

The CCPA privacy notice serves as the primary mechanism through which businesses communicate their data collection practices. It empowers consumers to make informed decisions about their personal data and exercise their rights under the CCPA. 

To make it more transparent, businesses should include information on the time period during which the PI was collected. 

In the notice, businesses must have a section that informs customers belonging to the state of California of their rights. 

An example of the personal information categories in a CCPA Privacy Notice:
