Who Must Comply
CCPA/CPRA applies to businesses that:
- Have annual gross revenue exceeding $25 million, OR
- Buy, sell, or share personal information of 100,000+ California residents/households, OR
- Derive 50%+ of annual revenue from selling or sharing personal information
Even businesses below these thresholds may need to provide CCPA-style disclosures when handling California user data.
CCPA/CPRA requires specific disclosures in your privacy policy:
Categories of Personal Information Collected
Disclose what types of personal information you collect (identifiers, commercial information, internet activity, geolocation, etc.)
Sources of Personal Information
Explain where you collect information from (directly from users, third party services, cookies, etc.)
Business or Commercial Purpose
Explain why you collect and use personal information (service delivery, marketing, analytics, etc.)
Third Party Sharing
Disclose if you sell or share personal information with third parties (advertising networks, analytics providers, etc.)
This page provides an example structure for educational purposes. A complete CCPA privacy policy must be customized to reflect your specific data practices and disclosures.
