<\/p>\nOakland, CA…Ahead of Data Privacy Day, California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced an investigative sweep, and is sending letters to businesses with popular streaming apps and devices alleging that they fail to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Specifically, this year\u2019s sweep focuses on the compliance of streaming services with CCPA\u2019s opt-out requirements for businesses that sell or share consumer personal information, including those that do not offer an easy mechanism for consumers who want to stop the sale of their data. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom watching live sporting events to blockbuster movies, families increasingly use streaming platforms for entertainment, and we must make sure that their personal information is protected. California was the first state in the nation to give consumers the legal right to tell businesses, don\u2019t sell my data. Today, we are taking a close look at how these streaming services are complying with requirements that have been in place since 2020,\u201d said Attorney General Bonta. \u201cThis Data Privacy Day, I urge consumers to learn about and exercise their rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, especially the right to tell these businesses to stop selling their personal information.\u201d<\/p>\n
The California Consumer Privacy Act is a landmark law that secures increased privacy rights for California consumers, such as the right to know how businesses collect, share, and disclose their personal information. Businesses that are subject to the CCPA have specific responsibilities, including responding to consumer requests to exercise these rights and giving consumers certain notices explaining their privacy practices. <\/p>\n
Under the CCPA\u2019s right to opt out, businesses that sell personal data or share personal information for targeted advertising must permit consumers the right to opt-out. Exercising this right should be easy and involve minimal steps. For example, consumers that are using a SmartTV should be able to navigate to the settings menu in a streaming service\u2019s mobile app and enable the service\u2019s \u201cDo Not Sell My Personal Information\u201d setting. Consumers should also be able to have this choice honored across different devices if they are logged into their account when they send their opt-out request. And, consumers should be able to easily encounter a streaming service\u2019s privacy policy that discusses their CCPA rights. <\/p>\n
Attorney General Bonta is committed to the robust enforcement of the nation\u2019s toughest data privacy law. In August 2022, the Attorney General announced a settlement with Sephora resolving allegations that it failed to disclose to consumers that it was selling their personal information and failed to process opt-out requests via user-enabled global privacy controls in violation of the CCPA.
