There was a lot of confusion and uncertainty surrounding EU-GDPR when it went into effect in 2016. With the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) becoming law on January 1, 2020, we at SilverTech want to help clarify what CCPA means and what action your company may want to take. We’ve heard from several clients with concerns and have laid out some simple plans on how to comply with the new regulations.

California recently passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “ACT”) that provides California residents rights over their personal information, similar to those found in the EU-GDPR. This Act allows California residents to have the right to be informed about what kinds of personal data your business collected and why, the right to request the deletion of their personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information.

In this article, we will discuss what is EU-GDPR and how it may impact every company that has a website and has customer or clients located in a country that is part of the European Union.
