Finding, Classifying, and Securing Personal Information Under the CCPA

The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) likely represents the most stringent privacy statute to be enacted at the U.S. state level and applies to all businesses in the U.S. and potentially to those around the world. It’s definition of personal information is surprisingly broad, and includes purchasing histories, interactions with web sites and advertisements, and even inferences made from personal information. However, other states have not been idle in the data protection realm and have updated their statutes and regulations to also expand the definition of personal information.
