Cali puts mobile app makers on notice over privacy

»www.theregister.com/2023 ··· elopers/
quote:
California's attorney general has put mobile app developers on notice: comply with the state's privacy laws and consumer opt-out requests, or get ready to paybig time. California Attorney General Rob Bonta keeps a running list of enforcement actions taken against companies that fail to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). In the state's latest "investigative sweep," Bonta sent letters to businesses with mobile apps that allegedly ignore consumer opt-out requests or sell users' data, despite the CCPA, which, among other things, prohibits these kinds of personal information sale. ... This year Bonta has another tool at his disposal: the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which essentially is an amendment to the CCPA that mandates companies not "share" folks' personal information with third parties. CPRA became operational in January, and its enforcement will begin later this year. ... The state has developed its own online tool that allows consumers to directly notify businesses that may have violated the CCPA. ... Bonta's office declined to answer The Register's questions about how many, and which, companies received letters alleging CCPA violations.
