Nearly half of employees in the United States are unfamiliar with the California Consumer Privacy Act, according to a report published by consulting company MediaPRO on Tuesday.

The report, based on a survey of 1,000 U.S.-based employees, shows that 46 percent of employees in the U.S. said they have never heard of the CCPA. The CCPA was passed last year to add more consumer privacy rights to Californians such as allowing the consumer a right to request a business to disclose the personal information it collects on the consumer. The law is set to take effect in January 2020.
