CCPA Radar

CCPA Radar tracks publicly announced enforcement actions, settlements, and penalty decisions under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Its purpose is to provide a clear, practical view of how California regulators interpret and enforce privacy obligations in real cases.

 

The radar brings together key information on enforcement trends, including the regulator, the organization involved, the amount of the penalty, the legal basis of the violation, and the core compliance issues identified in each matter. By presenting these cases in one place, CCPA Radar helps privacy, legal, compliance, and security teams better understand which failures most often lead to regulatory action.

 

More than a list of fines, CCPA Radar is designed as a working compliance resource. It shows how regulators approach topics such as opt-out mechanisms, dark patterns, children’s data, privacy notices, vendor contracts, and the technical implementation of consumer rights. This makes it easier to translate enforcement activity into concrete lessons for internal privacy governance and risk management.
