CCPA
CCPA, or the California Consumer Privacy Act, is a landmark U.S. state law that grants California residents greater control over their personal data held by businesses, including the right to know what information is collected and to request its deletion. Enacted amid rising concerns about data breaches and corporate surveillance, it has set a precedent for privacy regulations worldwide, influencing how companies handle consumer data in the digital age.

Since its enactment in 2018, the CCPA has inspired over a dozen other U.S. states to propose similar privacy laws, potentially affecting more than 300 million Americans by expanding data protection standards across the country. This ripple effect demonstrates how a single state-level act can reshape national and even international privacy norms, much like how the GDPR influenced it.
