Learning Resources:November 30, 2020 - Repost: compliancejunction.com At the beginning this month the electorate of California voted to pass the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), legislation created to further enhance the reach of the California Consumer Privacy Act that become enforceable earlier in 2020. The passing of the CPRA into law allocates a number of new rights to Californian citizens including:
When the proposed amendments were released earlier in the year California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said : “With these rules finalized, California breaks ground and leads the nation to protect and advance data privacy.” Conveniently, for Californian-based companies that do business in the European Union, there are a number of key similarities between the CPRA and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation, which became enforceable back in 2018. Essentially by ensuring that they are adhering to GDPR will mean that they are also compliant with the CPRA. This means that compliance is much easier to achieve on two fronts and also emphasizes the importance of referring to expert guidance and advice in relation to the implementation of a strict compliance regime. So what is the common ground between the CPRA and GDPR? When the GDPR was initially passed into law it was envisaged that it would allow EU citizens the right to enforce the limitation of the use of their personal data and ensure a standard level of security being available throughout the EU. It has been relatively successful and, despite coming in for some criticism for not being strict enough a number of large fines have been sanction against large companies (including Google, Twitter and British Airways) as well as many other GDPR fines for much smaller companies. The CPRA amendments to the CCPA that were passed will bring California’s data privacy regime more in line with that of GDPR on a number of fronts including:

The search giant says the change is part of its push for privacy. Google on Wednesday said it will stop selling ads based on a person's individual browsing across websites, a move that could shake up the digital advertising industry as consumers call for more privacy online. Last year, the search giant said it will phase out third-party cookies, little bits of code that can let advertisers track user history across the web. Once those are gone from Google's Chrome browser next year, the company made clear that it won't use or invest in alternative tracking tech that could identify people at an individual level. "If digital advertising doesn't evolve to address the growing concerns people have about their privacy and how their personal identity is being used, we risk the future of the free and open web," David Temkin, a Google product manager focused on privacy, said in a blog post. "People shouldn't have to accept being tracked across the web in order to get the benefits of relevant advertising." The announcement comes as Google's search and targeted advertising business is under increasing attack by lawmakers as well as state and federal prosecutors. The tech giant faces three major antitrust lawsuits, including a landmark case by the US Department of Justice, and another complaint by a bipartisan coalition of states. Wednesday's announcement is part of the search giant's push toward a "privacy sandbox," which is designed to let publishers target ads based on people's interests without infringing on their privacy. The company has touted breakthroughs in AI like "federated learning," which relies on Google's systems getting smarter by using raw data on people's devices, instead of transferring it to the cloud, so Google doesn't actually see the information, but still learns from it. Google's declaration to not use alternative tracking technologies is sure to ruffle others in the ad tech industry who plan to replace third-party cookies with other software that can closely track individuals, like one method that uses people's email addresses. "We don't believe these solutions will meet rising consumer expectations for privacy, nor will they stand up to rapidly evolving regulatory restrictions, and therefore aren't a sustainable long term investment," Temkin said. Still, there are limitations to Google's update. The changes won't apply to "first party" data, which companies collect directly from consumers. That includes Google's own products, like Gmail, YouTube and Chrome. The changes will also only apply to websites and not mobile phones, where consumers are increasingly spending their time. Over the past few years, the tech industry has been forced to move toward privacy as consumers and lawmakers have raised concerns over abuses of user data. Since December, Apple has required app developers on its iOS platform to provide "nutrition labels" that tell people what personal data their apps are collecting, like financial information, contacts or browsing history. Google, however, hasn't provided labels for most of its apps. Another change by Apple, rolling out in the coming months, requires developers to ask people for permission to gather data and track them across apps and websites. The change has riled Facebook, prompting a war of words between CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Apple CEO Tim Cook. Google, meanwhile, is reportedly considering a less "stringent" approach to giving users options about app tracking in its Android operating system.
