Email California’s ambitious new data privacy law, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), will go into effect on January 1, 2020 and promises to bring a new era of digital regulation to America’s shores. Financial institutions that just navigated their way through implementing the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which became effective in May 2018, may be uneasy about the prospect of complying with yet another new data privacy compliance regime. They will find some comfort in the fact that many of the systems and processes designed for GDPR compliance will serve their needs under the CCPA as well. However, between now and the go-live date of the CCPA, U.S. federal and state laws and regulations are likely to continue to evolve and expand, and financial institutions will need to prepare for CCPA implementation while staying abreast of other fast-moving developments. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/the-digital-revolution-takes-on-new-meaning-among-calls-for-heightened-us-data-privacy-measures-california-is-king
