In 2020, youll have new privacy rights online. But you might have to show ID
Companies with websites and customers in California (which is almost all of them) will have to grant internet users a new degree of control over their personal information thanks to the California Consumer Privacy Act.

The internet is going to look, and work, a little different starting today. Thats because Californians have new rights over how their personal information is gathered, stored and sold by any company operating in the state as of Jan. 1, thanks to the California Consumer Privacy Act, or CCPA.
As businesses scramble to get in compliance with the law, youve probably seen a rash of pop-up notifications and emails about privacy policy updates. You may also have noticed the small-print do not sell my information buttons that have started appearing at the bottom of websites.
But what are these new rights? How can you actually exercise them? And will any of this make a difference in how you use the internet?
Three new rights are at the heart of the CCPA, the strongest consumer data privacy law in the nation: the right to know, the right to delete, and the right to opt out.
