The deadline is quickly approaching for businesses to post their consumer request metrics under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Regulations.

These reporting obligations, outlined in Section 999.317(g) of the CCPA Regulations, apply to any business that is subject to the CCPA and that knows or reasonably should know that it, alone or in combination, buys, receives for the business’s commercial purposes, sells, or shares for commercial purposes the personal information of 10,000,000 or more California residents in a calendar year.

Businesses subject to the reporting obligations must disclose by July 1 of every calendar year, either in the Privacy Policy or elsewhere online with a link in their Privacy Policy, the following metrics for the previous calendar year:

  • The number of requests to know that the business received, complied with in whole or in part, and denied;
  • The number of requests to delete that the business received, complied with in whole or in part, and denied;
  • The number of requests to opt-out that the business received, complied with in whole or in part, and denied; and
  • The median or mean number of days within which the business substantively responded to requests to know, requests to delete, and requests to opt-out.

The first reporting deadline, applicable to calendar year 2020, is July 1, 2021.

Libbie Canter represents a wide variety of multinational companies on privacy, cyber security, and technology transaction issues, including helping clients with their most complex privacy challenges and the development of governance frameworks and processes to comply with global privacy laws. She routinely supports clients on their efforts to launch new products and services involving emerging technologies, and she has assisted dozens of clients with their efforts to prepare for and comply with federal and state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act.

Lindsey Tonsager co-chairs the firm’s global Data Privacy and Cybersecurity practice. She advises clients in their strategic and proactive engagement with the Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Congress, the California Privacy Protection Agency, and state attorneys general on proposed changes to data protection laws, and regularly represents clients in responding to investigations and enforcement actions involving their privacy and information security practices.

Lindsey’s practice focuses on helping clients launch new products and services that implicate the laws governing the use of artificial intelligence, data processing for connected devices, biometrics, online advertising, endorsements and testimonials in advertising and social media, the collection of personal information from children and students online, e-mail marketing, disclosures of video viewing information, and new technologies.

Lindsey also assesses privacy and data security risks in complex corporate transactions where personal data is a critical asset or data processing risks are otherwise material. In light of a dynamic regulatory environment where new state, federal, and international data protection laws are always on the horizon and enforcement priorities are shifting, she focuses on designing risk-based, global privacy programs for clients that can keep pace with evolving legal requirements and efficiently leverage the clients’ existing privacy policies and practices. She conducts data protection assessments to benchmark against legal requirements and industry trends and proposes practical risk mitigation measures.
