On Agust 20, PossibleNOW™, announced the results of its latest survey, showing 56% of U.S. businesses polled reported they do not expect to be fully prepared to meet California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) requirements by the January 1, 2020 date of enforcement.
When survey respondents were asked why their organization wouldn’t be compliant:
Penalties for noncompliance are $2,500 per record for each unintentional violation and $7,500 per record for each intentional violation. So, a company that doesn’t honor or mismanages 1,000 consumer privacy requests could face a fine ranging from $2,500,000 to $7,500,000
The CCPA is surprisingly weak, when I look at the details. I think it is too easy to circumvent.
Of course, I deal with GDPR, so everything else seems weak. 🙂
