The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a landmark data privacy law that took effect on January 1, 2020, granting California residents specific rights over their personal information. The law applies to for-profit businesses that collect personal data from California consumers and meet certain revenue or data-processing thresholds.
Under the CCPA, businesses must disclose what categories of personal information they collect, the purposes for collection, and any third parties with whom data is shared. Consumers have the right to know, delete, and opt out of the sale of their personal information.
While both the CCPA and GDPR aim to protect consumer privacy, they differ in scope and approach. The GDPR requires explicit opt-in consent before data processing, whereas the CCPA operates on an opt-out model, allowing businesses to collect data unless a consumer objects.
The CCPA also introduced the concept of the “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link, which must be prominently displayed on websites. Businesses operating across both jurisdictions need a consent management solution that can handle both frameworks simultaneously.
Seers.ai provides a comprehensive consent management platform that supports CCPA compliance out of the box. The platform automatically displays the required opt-out mechanisms, manages consumer data requests, and maintains auditable consent records.
With Seers’ cookie consent banner, businesses can present region-specific consent options, showing CCPA-compliant notices to California visitors and GDPR-compliant banners to European users. Integration with Google Consent Mode v2 ensures your advertising and analytics tags fire only when permitted, keeping your marketing data both accurate and lawful.
