Bill > AB375

This bill, called the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, grants California consumers several new rights related to the personal information that businesses collect about them. Specifically, the bill would give consumers the right to request that businesses disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information they have collected, the right to request deletion of their personal information, and the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information. The bill also prohibits businesses from discriminating against consumers who exercise these rights. Additionally, the bill establishes new requirements for businesses regarding transparency, data retention, and data sharing. The bill empowers the California Attorney General to enforce its provisions and creates a new Consumer Privacy Fund to support this enforcement. Overall, the bill aims to further California consumers' constitutional right to privacy by giving them more control over their personal information.
