Can I skip monitoring and auditing compliance with CCPA in Rhode Island? What are the requirements?

Compliance with CCPA in Rhode Island

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

Requirements for CCPA Compliance

To comply with CCPA, businesses must:

• Provide notice to Rhode Island residents about the categories of personal information collected, the purposes for which the information is used, and the categories of third parties with whom the information is shared ^[1].
• Allow Rhode Island residents to opt-out of the sale of their personal information ^[1].
• Provide Rhode Island residents with the right to access and delete their personal information ^[1].

Monitoring and Auditing Compliance

Businesses subject to CCPA are required to implement reasonable security measures to protect personal information ^[1]. Additionally, businesses must establish and maintain reasonable procedures to detect and respond to security incidents ^[1].

Furthermore, the Rhode Island Women’s Equity Incentive Act of 2023 requires the division of taxation to establish procedures to ensure ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of the program established herein, including procedures to safeguard the expenditure of public funds and to ensure that the funds further the objectives of the program ^[2].

Therefore, it is recommended that businesses subject to CCPA in Rhode Island monitor and audit their compliance with the law and establish procedures to ensure ongoing compliance.
