The California Privacy Rights Act is broader than you might think

Starting on July 1 2023, some California employers may become subject to penalties for violations of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). With respect to California employees, the final rules cover a lot.?In particular, the CPRA creates notice requirements for certain employers who collect “Personal Information” and “Sensitive Personal Information.” Personal Information is information that can reasonably be used to identify an individual, such as an e-mail address. Employers must also inform employees of their rights related to the collection and use of Personal Information, and penalties for noncompliance are $2,500 per violation, or $7,500 for intentional and willful violations.
