The California attorney general announced his office notified an unspecified number of businesses with mobile apps they are failing to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act.
Attorney General Rob Bonta said Friday in a press release his office issued letters to companies with mobile apps in the “retail, travel, and food service industries that allegedly fail to comply with consumer opt-out requests or do not offer any mechanism for consumers who want to stop the sale of their data.” Some apps violated the CCPA’s provision to process consumer requests from authorized agents to delete or opt out on the processing of their data, as required by the law, Bonta said.
