Abstract
"California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which became effective January 1, 2020, aims to protect California citizens' privacy rights and applies to for-profit businesses that do business in California, which meet with the act's ""business"" definition under its Section 1798.140. This study collects 2754 companies that operate in California and meet this definition. For each company, we identified the minimal requirements for data subjects to assert their rights. The results illustrate widespread lack of compliance with these requirements; less than twelve percent of companies met with baseline requirements. This study details the types and indicators of failures to provide data subject rights as blockages, the most common of which is that there is simply no method for contacting the organization. The second most common is a operational failure, which suggests that lack of privacy is often a result of lack of technical expertise. This study concludes with the separate threads of research in the interactions of technical expertise and privacy, with a focus on the interaction of cyber security and privacy. It also aims to identify the strategies to increase the effectiveness of CCPA to better protect California residents’ personal information through the data brokers."
