With the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) going into effect on January 1, 2020, we’ve put together a CCPA Countdown Checklist for small-to-medium businesses. Over the next nine weeks, we’ll shed light on one of the items off of the CCPA checklist below. Last week, we provided an infographic that went through seven main things you need to know about the CCPA. This week, we’ll review #2 off of the checklist.

Data Collection
Determine what data is collected from California consumers and what purposes they are used
Under the CCPA, businesses must inform consumers at or before the point of collection which categories of personal information will be collected and the purposes for which these categories will be used. Before informing consumers about the data collected, you must understand what trackers are being used on your website. This can be determined by using our powerful website scanning technology.
