The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) comes into force on Jan. 1, 2020. The CCPA 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 Act confers no generalized private right of action. The CCPA does not directly modify any rule of evidence or civil procedure.

Civ. Code 1798.145(b).
