Can I skip providing notice to consumers of their rights under CCPA in Massachusetts? What are the requirements?

Consumer Rights under CCPA in Massachusetts

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a California state law that went into effect on January 1, 2020. It grants California consumers the right to know what personal information businesses collect about them, and the right to request that their personal information be deleted.

Massachusetts does not have a similar law to CCPA, but it does have its own data privacy law called the Massachusetts Data Breach Notification Law. This law requires businesses to notify Massachusetts residents if their personal information is compromised in a data breach.

Therefore, if you are a business operating in Massachusetts, you are not required to provide notice to consumers of their rights under CCPA. However, you must comply with the Massachusetts Data Breach Notification Law.

For more information on the Massachusetts Data Breach Notification Law, please refer to [Chapter 93H of the Massachusetts General Laws]^[1].
