The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a new law that’s about to affect business in a big way. But if you’re a small business owner or reside in another state, you may be wondering why this applies to you.
Our free cookie scan tool will keep you informed about whose data you have, with whom you’re sharing it (e.g., Google Ads, Google Analytics, paid campaigns, CRMs, advertising tools, integrations, etc.), and whether you’re collecting relevant consent for that. That sounds like a lot, but don’t worry – we’re here to help answer those questions.
What is CCPA?
The California Consumer Privacy Act helps protect the privacy rights of California residents. When customers give their data to businesses (e.g., email address, phone number, mailing address, etc.), the consumer must be informed and in control of where that information goes.
Many business owners don’t even realize that when they collect this kind of data on online forms, it can be taken, used, and reshared without your knowledge. That’s where a CMP comes in handy. But what if your business isn’t even in California?
Business Isn’t Always Localized
If you’re selling online, you may get a customer from California. That’s great! Everyone loves customers. However, that means you will need to comply with CCPA. Our CMP tools make it really easy to help you stay in control – and in compliance.
