What you need to do..
Privacy policies
Review and update your privacy policies. The CCPA requires businesses to provide certain disclosures in their privacy policies, including information about the categories of personal information they collect and the purposes for which they use and share that information. You will need to review your existing privacy policies and update them to include the required CCPA disclosures.
Response procedures
Implement procedures for responding to consumer requests. The CCPA gives consumers the right to make certain requests regarding their personal information, including the right to request that a business disclose the personal information it has collected about them, the right to request that their personal information be deleted, and the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information. You will need to implement procedures for responding to these requests within the timeframes specified by the CCPA.
Employee training
Train your employees on the CCPA. It’s important that your employees understand the requirements of the CCPA and how to comply with them. You should provide training to your employees on the CCPA and ensure that they understand their responsibilities for protecting consumers’ personal information.
Third-party contract
Review and update your contracts with third parties. If you share consumers’ personal information with third parties, you will need to ensure that your contracts with those parties comply with the CCPA. You should review your contracts with third parties to ensure that they include the required CCPA provisions and that they obligate the third parties to protect consumers’ personal information in accordance with the CCPA.
