CCPA is a set of privacy and personal information laws implemented by the State of California. CCPA stands for California Consumer Privacy Act and will improve privacy and transparency to help protect consumer interests.

The CCPA focuses primarily on the privacy and data collection aspect. The law is similar to GDPR in many ways, making it easier for people who have implemented GDPR to get used to it. There are still some key differences between both policies, so it is important to study CCPA carefully and comply with its requirements even after you have completed the entire GDPR process.
