Can I skip documenting compliance with CCPA in South Carolina? What are the requirements?

Requirements for CCPA Compliance in South Carolina

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state law that regulates how businesses handle the personal information of California residents. While CCPA is a California state law, it may still apply to businesses in South Carolina if they meet certain criteria.

CCPA Applicability in South Carolina

CCPA applies to businesses that meet one or more of the following criteria:

• Have an annual gross revenue of over $25 million
• Buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households, or devices annually
• Derive 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information

If your business meets any of the above criteria, you may be required to comply with CCPA, regardless of your location in the United States.

Documentation Requirements

CCPA requires businesses to provide certain disclosures to California residents about their personal information handling practices. These disclosures must be made in a privacy policy that is easily accessible to consumers.

Additionally, businesses subject to CCPA must maintain records of consumer requests and how they were responded to for at least 24 months.

Therefore, it is important for businesses subject to CCPA to document their compliance efforts and maintain records of consumer requests.
