Key takeaways

CCPA applies if your business has California customers and processes data of 50,000+ California residents per year.
"Right to know" and "right to delete" are the two most-invoked CCPA rights.
Maintain a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link if you sell data (most B2B SaaS don't sell, so this is moot).

Who CCPA applies to

Your business if it meets ANY of:

Annual revenue over $25M
Buys/sells/shares personal data of 50,000+ California residents/year
Derives 50%+ of revenue from selling consumer data

The 5 CCPA rights

Right to know what data is collected
Right to delete personal information
Right to opt-out of sale
Right to non-discrimination
Right to correct inaccurate data (CPRA expansion)

What B2B teams typically need

Privacy policy disclosing data collection practices
Process for handling "right to delete" requests within 45 days
Documentation of data sources and retention periods
"Do Not Sell" link if applicable (most B2B SaaS: not applicable)

Fines

$2,500 per violation. $7,500 per intentional violation. Class actions possible for breaches involving 100K+ records.
