California Privacy Protection Agency

The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) is an independent state agency responsible for enforcing California's privacy laws, primarily the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Its role includes creating and implementing regulations to protect residents' personal information, ensuring businesses comply with privacy rights, and handling enforcement actions. The agency aims to give Californians more control over their personal data, such as knowing what information is collected and opting out of data sharing. In essence, the CPPA works to enhance privacy protections and uphold individuals’ rights in the digital landscape.
