CPPA
CIPP/US glossary · Last reviewed: · By Victor Humenhuk (CIPP/US certified)
CPPA - The California Privacy Protection Agency, a dedicated privacy regulator created by the CPRA, seen as analogous to an EU data protection authority.
In the CIPP/US body of knowledge, CPPA comes up under Chapter 2: U.S. Legal Framework; Chapter 6: State Comprehensive Privacy Laws.
CPPA in context
- ==State attorneys general== enforce, and California's ==CPPA== is the first U.S. (Federal and State Regulatory Authorities for Private-Sector Privacy)
- state to pass a comprehensive privacy law: the ==CCPA (enacted 2018, effective Jan 1, 2020)==, later amended and extended by the ==CPRA (passed late 2020, effective Jan 1, 2023)==, which also created the ==CPPA==. (California as First Mover - CCPA and CPRA)
- The ==state attorney general== has sole or joint enforcement power in every state; ==California adds the CPPA==. (Enforcement - Penalties and Enforcers)
