CCPA

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a state law that grants California consumers new rights regarding their personal information collected by businesses, including the right to know what data is collected, to delete it, and to opt-out of its sale.

TECHNICAL DEFINITION

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a landmark state statute in California, United States, establishing comprehensive consumer privacy rights for residents regarding the collection, processing, and sale of their personal information by businesses, drawing parallels with global data protection regulations like GDPR.

BACKGROUND

In organizations, shadow IT refers to information technology (IT) systems deployed by departments other than the central IT department, to bypass limitations and restrictions that have been imposed by central information systems. While it can promote innovation and productivity, shadow IT introduces security risks and compliance concerns, especially when such systems are not aligned with corporate governance.
