Explanation

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), consumers have the right to initiate a civil action if a business fails to adequately protect their personal information and a security breach occurs. This right applies specifically to breaches of certain categories of personal information that are unencrypted and unredacted. Key Details of CCPA/CPRA Civil Actions: Security Breaches: A consumer can sue a business if the breach involves personal information such as Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, or financial account information, provided that the data was unencrypted and unredacted. Reasonable Security Practices: Businesses are required to implement and maintain reasonable security practices to protect personal information. Failure to do so may expose the business to liability in case of a breach. Categories of Data Covered: The law specifies that only certain sensitive categories of personal information are actionable under a civil suit.
