Food delivery company DoorDash agreed to pay a $375,000 fine as part of a settlement announced by California Attorney General Rob Bonta addressing alleged violations of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
The enforcement action, announced Wednesday, is the second to be levied publicly since the CCPA took effect in January 2020. The first action came down more than one year ago, when Sephora was assessed a $1.2 million penalty in August 2022 for violating the consumer privacy law.
Regarding DoorDash, the attorney general alleged the company ran afoul of the CCPA and the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA) in relation to its participation in a marketing cooperative that saw it share customer personal information with other companies in exchange for advertising opportunities.
