Can I skip updating my privacy policy and other CCPA-related documents in North Carolina? What are the requirements?
North Carolina Privacy Policy Requirements
In North Carolina, there are no specific state laws that require businesses to have a privacy policy. However, if your business collects personal information from North Carolina residents, you may be subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if you have customers in the European Union.
CCPA-Related Documents
If your business is subject to the CCPA, you must update your privacy policy to include specific disclosures and rights related to the CCPA. You must also provide a notice at or before the point of collection of personal information that includes the categories of personal information collected and the purposes for which the information will be used. Additionally, you must provide a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link on your website if you sell personal information.
However, it is important to note that North Carolina has recently passed several laws related to privacy and data protection, such as the North Carolina Coerced Debt Relief Act [2] and the North Carolina CROWN Act [3]. These laws may have implications for your business and it is recommended that you consult with a legal professional to ensure compliance.
Therefore, if your business collects personal information from North Carolina residents and is subject to the CCPA, you must update your privacy policy and provide specific disclosures and rights related to the CCPA. If you are unsure whether your business is subject to the CCPA, you should consult with a legal professional.
