California Consumer Privacy Act: Will it prompt federal data privacy & protection laws in the U.S.?

Passed unanimously, and introduced on 1 January this year, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is the first comprehensive legislation that focuses on consumer data and privacy in the US. Similar to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the CCPA has forced most businesses operating in the state to make structural changes to their privacy programs. Residents in California now have new rights over their data, including visibility over the data companies have gathered on them, as well as the option to have that data deleted, or prevent their data being sold to third parties.
