The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, which comes into force on Jan. 1, 2020, enshrines the “right of Californians to know what personal information is being collected about them,” and “to access their personal information” after it is collected. The plaintiffs' bar may attempt to use the access provisions of CCPA as a tool in their discovery arsenal. Litigators and compliance attorneys must work together against the rush to exploit the CCPA for liability purposes.
