Beginning on January 1, 2023, the amended California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) now grants both current and former employees of California-based businesses the right to request details of any personal information that an employer has collected about them while also enabling them to request that any personal information in their custody be permanently deleted upon their request.

Modeled upon Europe’s landmark General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) data privacy legislation, these Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) were a key provision in the initial version of the California Privacy Protection Act (CPPA) of 2020. However, until now, their scope was limited to consumers of products and services doing business in the state. Under the updated CPRA, California businesses that meet the stated threshold requirements will be compelled to respond to these requests from current and former employees.
