The California Office of the Attorney General has turned its attention to the practices of large companies regarding the protection of the personal information of employees and job applicants as part of its latest investigative sweep under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Attorney General Rob Bonta announced in a press release Friday that large California employers will receive letters seeking details on their CCPA compliance efforts. Changes under the data protection law that took effect Jan. 1 enhanced certain employee data protections.
“The California Consumer Privacy Act is the first-in-the-nation landmark privacy law, and starting this year, the personal information of employees, job applicants, and independent contractors received greater data privacy protections because of it,” said Bonta in the release. “We are sending inquiry letters to learn how employers are complying with their legal obligations. We look forward to their timely response.”
