Many businesses are breathing a sigh of relief following a court ruling that delayed enforcement of certain provisions of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), but companies should not rest on their laurels, according to experts.
“This does not change their future obligations,” said Cobun Zweifel-Keegan, managing director at the International Association of Privacy Professionals, of the Sacramento County Superior Court’s June 30 decision. “The compliance target remains the same, even if the deadline shifts.”
The CPRA, which passed as a voter ballot measure in 2020 and amends the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), gives California residents more control over their personal data collected by businesses.
