Can I skip providing notice to consumers of their rights under CCPA in California? What are the requirements?
Based on the provided context documents, businesses cannot skip providing notice to consumers of their rights under CCPA in California. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) requires businesses to disclose certain information to consumers, including their rights under the CCPA, in a form that is reasonably accessible to consumers [1.2]. Specifically, businesses must disclose a description of a consumer’s rights pursuant to Sections 1798.100, 1798.105, 1798.106, 1798.110, 1798.115, and 1798.125 and two or more designated methods for submitting requests [1.2]. This information must be disclosed in the business’s online privacy policy or policies if the business has an online privacy policy or policies and in any California-specific description of consumers’ privacy rights, or if the business does not maintain those policies, on its internet website, and update that information at least once every 12 months [1.2].
Additionally, businesses that sell or share consumers’ personal information or use or disclose consumers’ sensitive personal information for purposes other than those authorized by subdivision (a) of Section 1798.121 must provide a clear and conspicuous link on the business’s internet homepages, titled “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information,” to an internet web page that enables a consumer, or a person authorized by the consumer, to opt-out of the sale or sharing of the consumer’s personal information [1.3]. They must also provide a clear and conspicuous link on the business’ internet homepages, titled “Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information,” that enables a consumer, or a person authorized by the consumer, to limit the use or disclosure of the consumer’s sensitive personal information to those uses authorized by subdivision (a) of Section 1798.121 [1.3].
Therefore, businesses must provide notice to consumers of their rights under CCPA in California and must comply with the requirements outlined in the CCPA.
