CCPA Compliance

California Consumer Privacy Act

Download White Paper

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which goes into effect in January 2020, increases the privacy rights of California residents, households, and even devices.

One of the most challenging and complex issues associated with CCPA relates to identity verification. Companies will be required to receive and answer verifiable consumer requests from californian consumers asking to access personal information. IDology can help providing a flexible, multi-layered identity platform that can help you verify the identity of the consumer requesting information, without adding friction, while deterring possible fraud.

Who Must Comply with CCPA?

CCPA applies to any business or service provider that does business with California residents, and that meets any of the three following criteria:

  • The business earns $25,000,000 a year in revenue.
  • The business obtains personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households or devices annually.
  • The business derives 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling California residents’ personal information.

Where Flexible Identity Verification Comes into Play

Before an organization releases or deletes personal information, it will first need to confirm the identity of the requester. Additionally, organizations will need to verify the age of customers in order to collect the required opt-in consent from minors and/or their guardians.

For compliance, businesses will need an identity and age verification solution that helps make CCPA compliance simple for them and frictionless for consumers. When selecting a solution providers, look for the following:

  1. Strong Data Security and Transparency Policies – Choose a provider that defines it’s data retention policies, is serious about data security, and is themselves CCPA compliant.
  2. Flexible and Easy to Use – An identity verification platform that offers multiple options based on your unique business needs and consumer journey.
  3. A Proven Track Record – Choose a provider with the right credentials and a history of working in compliance and identity.
