Privacy Policy and CCPA Requirements in Iowa

In Iowa, businesses that collect personal information from consumers are required to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) if they meet certain criteria. The CCPA applies to businesses that have an annual gross revenue of over $25 million, buy, receive, or sell the personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households, or devices, or derive 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling consumers’ personal information.

If your business meets any of these criteria, you must comply with the CCPA’s requirements, which include updating your privacy policy to include specific disclosures about the personal information you collect, how it is used, and how consumers can exercise their rights under the CCPA. Failure to comply with the CCPA can result in significant fines and legal liability.

Therefore, it is not recommended to skip updating your privacy policy and other CCPA-related documents if your business meets the criteria mentioned above.

[4] provides information on the Consumer Credit Protection Act (CCPA), which limits the amount of an employee’s wages that can be garnished for any one debt and protects employees from discharge by their employers because their wages have been garnished for any one debt.

[5] explains that employers must honor an income withholding order for child support if the sender uses the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) form, Income Withholding for Support (IWO) (OMB-0970-0154) (PDF). The IWO Instructions (PDF) explain what each field means. Employers must withhold child support before all other garnishments, except an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tax levy entered before the date the underlying child support order was established. Employers must withhold a higher percentage of the employee’s or obligor’s disposable income for child support than for other garnishments.

[3] provides information on the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA), which offers varying degrees of legal protection depending on the perceived importance of the privacy interest involved. Some information can be obtained from providers with a subpoena; other information requires a special court order; and still other information requires a search warrant. In addition, some types of legal process require notice to the subscriber, while other types do not. The Act reflects a general approach of providing greater privacy protection for materials in which there are greater privacy interests.

Therefore, it is recommended to comply with the CCPA requirements to avoid legal liability and protect consumers’ privacy interests.
