California's privacy regulator, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA), has been active in November 2024, focusing on various aspects of data privacy and cybersecurity. Recent initiatives include a crackdown on unregistered data brokers and the implementation of new laws related to automated decision-making and risk assessments. The CPPA's efforts aim to enhance consumer protection and ensure compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Notable discussions have emerged regarding the implications of these regulations for businesses, particularly in areas such as cybersecurity audits and insurance, as well as the responsibilities of data brokers. The developments reflect California's ongoing commitment to strengthening privacy laws and addressing emerging challenges in the digital landscape.
