The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a complicated, confusing and comprehensive state privacy law that impacts most marketing research and data analytics companies and departments, and covers almost all consumer data, online or otherwise.

CCPA requires extensive disclosure about data collection, use and sharing, and consumer rights to data access, deletion and opt out (from data sharing/sale). It also further expands penalties for data security breaches, punishable by private lawsuits. The Attorney General has wide latitude to enforce the law.
