1
00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:02,549
New year, new privacy laws.

2
00:00:02,549 --> 00:00:04,080
Starting January 1st,

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,490
the California Consumer Privacy Act

4
00:00:06,490 --> 00:00:09,910
otherwise known as the CCPA 
goes into effect.

5
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:10,649
By the way,

6
00:00:10,649 --> 00:00:14,090
the law doesn't only affect companies 
based in California.

7
00:00:14,090 --> 00:00:16,570
What exactly does that mean for you?

8
00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:19,950
First, if you're a Californian, you now have 
the right to see information

9
00:00:19,950 --> 00:00:21,650
companies have saved from you.

10
00:00:21,650 --> 00:00:24,730
From your buying habits, images,
and even where you've been.

11
00:00:24,730 --> 00:00:26,830
You can ask for it all to be deleted

12
00:00:26,830 --> 00:00:28,440
or you can choose to download it.

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:29,230
Second,

14
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:31,708
you can opt out 
of having your information sold.

15
00:00:31,708 --> 00:00:34,250
That means businesses 
that want to target you

16
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:35,984
can no longer buy your information

17
00:00:35,984 --> 00:00:37,811
from companies that sell data

18
00:00:37,811 --> 00:00:38,700
Third,

19
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:41,060
Teens between the ages of 13 and 15

20
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:44,639
will have to opt IN 
for any sale of their data.

21
00:00:44,639 --> 00:00:46,380
Companies are affected if they:

22
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:48,229
serve California residents AND

23
00:00:48,229 --> 00:00:51,140
make more than $25 million
in annual revenue OR

24
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:54,860
make most of their profit from 
selling personal information.

25
00:00:54,860 --> 00:00:56,302
Congress is taking notice,

26
00:00:56,302 --> 00:00:58,650
so even if you're not in California

27
00:00:58,650 --> 00:01:00,986
privacy laws could be 
protecting your information

28
00:01:00,986 --> 00:01:02,586
sooner than you think

29
00:01:02,586 --> 00:01:04,006
Learn more about CCPA

30
00:01:04,006 --> 00:01:06,458
and how it can potentially affect you.
