People Also Ask

Does CCPA apply to data migration?

Yes, CCPA applies to data migration if you're a business that collects personal information of California residents and meets the threshold requirements (annual gross revenues over $25M, or buys/sells personal information of 50,000+ consumers, or derives 50%+ revenue from selling personal information). During migration, you must maintain all consumer rights including right to know, delete, opt-out, and non-discrimination. Failure to comply can result in penalties of $2,500-$7,500 per violation.

How do I handle consumer deletion requests during migration?

Process all pending deletion requests before starting migration to avoid migrating data that should be deleted. During migration, maintain a deletion queue to handle new requests - either pause migration for that consumer's data or implement real-time deletion in both source and target systems. Our AI agents automate this process, tracking deletion requests across systems and ensuring complete removal within the CCPA-required 45-day timeframe.

What personal information categories does CCPA cover?

CCPA covers 11 categories: identifiers (name, email, IP address), commercial information (purchase history), biometric data, internet activity, geolocation data, audio/visual information, professional information, education information, inferences about preferences, sensitive personal information (SSN, financial accounts, precise geolocation), and any other information that identifies or can be linked to a consumer or household. During migration, you must classify and protect all these categories appropriately.

How long should I retain CCPA compliance records?

Retain CCPA compliance records for at least 24 months, including consumer requests, responses, and actions taken. For data migration specifically, maintain audit logs showing: what data was migrated, when it was migrated, who accessed it, what security measures were applied, and how consumer rights were preserved. Our platform automatically generates and stores these audit trails with immutable timestamps for the required retention period.

What's the difference between CCPA and GDPR for data migration?

CCPA applies to California residents and focuses on consumer rights (know, delete, opt-out, non-discrimination), while GDPR applies to EU residents and has broader requirements including data minimization, purpose limitation, and explicit consent. CCPA allows opt-out of data sales, while GDPR requires opt-in consent. For migration, GDPR is generally stricter - if you're compliant with GDPR, you're likely compliant with CCPA, but not vice versa. Our platform supports both frameworks simultaneously.
