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

Notice Requirements under CCPA in New York

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), businesses that collect personal information from California residents are required to provide certain notices to those residents. However, New York has its own privacy law, the New York State Stop Hacks and Improve Electronic Data Security (SHIELD) Act, which requires businesses to implement reasonable data security measures and to notify affected individuals in the event of a data breach ^[1].

Conclusion

Based on the available information, it is unclear whether CCPA notice requirements apply to businesses operating in New York. However, businesses operating in New York are required to comply with the SHIELD Act’s data security and breach notification requirements. It is recommended that businesses consult with legal counsel to determine their specific obligations under applicable privacy laws ^[1].
