Does your privacy policy comply with the California Attorney General's recently released guidance?
Brian Igel
On May 21, 2014, the California attorney general released updated guidance regarding privacy expectations and complying with the recently amended California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”). While the law only applies to companies collecting personally identifiable information ("PII") of California residents, the state's economic importance and the borderless world of online commerce extend the impact of this law nationwide.
It is safe to assume that the attorney general’s recommendations delineate the minimum requirements necessary for a valid privacy policy under CalOPPA. If you haven't already, now would be a good time to review your privacy policy and practices to ensure that they comply with best practices and the law.
