The CCPA is a state statute intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of the state of California. Under CCPA, California residents have the right to know which data companies store of them and with which third parties that data is shared. The CCPA affects any business that collects or stores data about California residents and will likely set a precedent for nationwide privacy protection in the United States. In addition, the CCPA allows consumers to sue companies if the privacy guidelines are violated, even if there is no breach.
