Under the CCPA, residents of California have the right to: access personal information organizations store; request organizations to delete their personal data; and request organizations to not sell their personal data. The CCPA creates enormous liability for organizations that do not comply with the law with fines of up to $7500 for every violation.

The CCPA legislation is broad and can be difficult to interpret. It requires a significant amount of time and energy to understand your obligations against CCPA in order to maintain compliance with the law. At GRM Technologies, our data privacy experts will parse the provisions of this evolving legislation to determine the requirements applicable to your business.

We will conduct a detailed gap analysis against every legal requirement to determine your current level of compliance and maturity in implementing data privacy controls. We will then work with you to create data inventories and data flow maps to visualize the data processing activities within the company. It provides an overview of the types of personal information you collect; the purpose for which you use personal information; the retention period of personal information and the devices on which this information is stored; and the parties with whom the information is shared.
