CCPA & CPRA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California residents with rights regarding their personal information, including the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of their data. The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) expands these rights and introduces additional protections, such as the right to correct inaccurate data and limit the use of sensitive personal information.

Under these laws, a California data privacy attorney may help you request disclosures from companies or file complaints if a business fails to meet its obligations. The CPRA also empowers a relatively new enforcement agency, expanding accountability across industries.

Data Breaches

A data breach is a cyber attack where private and protected information is leaked from a system by an unauthorized party. A breach can expose these types of confidential information:

  • Legal names
  • Addresses, emails, and phone numbers
  • Social Security numbers
  • Driver’s license numbers
  • Bank account numbers
  • Passport details
  • Insurance policy details
  • Employment information
  • Medical records and prescription information

Any information stored in a particular system is at risk of a breach. Malicious actors target systems that provide large stores of sensitive data.

California data breach lawyers are often called upon when companies fail to take reasonable precautions to secure this data. If you’ve been impacted by a data breach, contact us to learn whether legal action is possible under state law.

Our team of California data breach lawyers can help you explore available remedies if your information was compromised due to negligent security practices.
