CPPA

• SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- California's new data privacy law won't take effect until March 29, 2024 after a superior court judge Friday ruled the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) didn't pass regulations in time.
• "The delay is bad news for beleaguered consumers who have already waited too long for these privacy rights and protections," said Justin Kloczko, privacy advocate at Consumer Watchdog.
• "Now companies have nine more months to profit off people's data that should have been protected under the law."
• The ruling comes a day before the CPPA was set to begin enforcement of the state's landmark California Privacy Rights Act.

• Despite early predictions that the internet would spell the end of privacy, it continues to be vital to who we are.
• Without privacy, we couldn’t sustain relationships or maintain our dignity or sense of self.

A constitutional right to privacy

• Canadians receive protection from police and other government institutions under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
• Where we do have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a place or thing, police generally need a warrant to search or seize it.
• The law, in turn, must be reasonable in striking an appropriate balance between law enforcement interests and personal privacy.

Privacy in the private sphere

• The Charter sets limits on what government officials and agencies can do to infringe on our privacy, but more often our privacy is threatened by private entities that gather data or information from us.
• We have federal and provincial statutes to deal with privacy incursions by commercial entities.
• The Privacy Commissioner of Canada enforces the act, but has often complained of the weak tools at their disposal for doing so.

A better future for personal privacy?

• The new act will impose more stringent penalties for breaches and give authorities more enforcement tools.
• But the act will require companies to be more explicit with us about how they intend to use our data.
• This covers only some of the many tools in Canadian law for protecting personal privacy.
