In an effort to streamline the enforcement of California’s stringent privacy rules, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA).
The agreement, announced Tuesday, will no doubt give the CPPA the breathing room it wants to enforce its tough privacy rules, which extend to national and international companies that conduct business in California, have customers in California, or have employees who are California residents.
The CPPA has worried that future federal privacy laws would pre-empt California’s strict laws, and it urged federal lawmakers, who were last year considering a broad privacy bill, to exempt California.
