Consumer Data Compliance: Avoid Legal Risks in the Digital Age
Today’s businesses must carefully manage private information. California business owners often ask about handling customer data, especially when using tools like Google Ads and tracking software. These tools drive growth but collect personal data subject to strict privacy laws. It’s essential to understand legal boundaries and required opt-out options. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendments give people control over how their information is shared, including data from advertising trackers. Under Section 1798.120, consumers can instruct businesses not to sell or share their data. Section 1798.135 requires companies to provide a visible “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link that connects to a process for HOW CALIFORNIA LOOKS AT CONSUMER PRIVACY
opting out. Failing to comply can lead to penalties and legal issues. WHAT FEDERAL DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION LAWS APPLY? U.S. Code § 6802, for example, requires financial institutions to provide customers a way to opt out before their information is shared with unrelated third parties. While it applies to banks and similar institutions, it sets a standard for giving people control over their personal information. Similarly, the CAN-SPAM Act’s Section 7704 (Controlling the Assault of Non- Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) requires commercial emails to include a clear way for recipients to opt out of future messages. It reinforces the broader principle that consumers should always have an easy way to stop the use of their data for business purposes.
Taken together, these federal laws, alongside California’s strict privacy laws, make it clear that businesses using online tracking or data collection tools must provide a process for consumers to opt out.
