Can I skip documenting compliance with CCPA in Rhode Island? What are the requirements?

CCPA Compliance Requirements in Rhode Island

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a privacy law that applies to businesses that collect personal information from California residents. However, if you are a business that operates in Rhode Island and collects personal information from Rhode Island residents, you may still need to comply with CCPA.

CCPA Applicability in Rhode Island

Rhode Island has not passed a state-level privacy law similar to CCPA. However, if your business collects personal information from Rhode Island residents and meets any of the following criteria, you may still need to comply with CCPA:

  • Your business has annual gross revenues of over $25 million;
  • Your business buys, receives, sells, or shares the personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households, or devices for commercial purposes; or
  • Your business derives 50% or more of its annual revenues from selling consumers’ personal information.

CCPA Compliance Requirements

If your business meets the above criteria, you must comply with CCPA’s requirements, which include:

  • Providing notice to consumers about the categories of personal information you collect, the purposes for which you use the information, and the categories of third parties with whom you share the information;
  • Providing consumers with the right to request that you delete their personal information;
  • Providing consumers with the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information;
  • Providing consumers with the right to access their personal information; and
  • Ensuring the security of consumers’ personal information.
