Compliance
California Consumer Privacy Act

CCPA

California's consumer privacy regulation.

Overview

What it is, in plain English.

The California Consumer Privacy Act — as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) — is the most consequential US state privacy law. With a growing patchwork of similar laws in Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas, Oregon, and beyond, Lyra builds privacy programs that handle California today and the next dozen state laws on the way.

CCPA (and CPRA) readiness — including data inventory, consumer rights workflows, and privacy notice operations.

Who needs it

Built for organizations that have to get this right.

  • Businesses with California consumers and $25M+ revenue (or volume / sale thresholds)

  • Companies offering personal-data-driven advertising or analytics

  • B2B SaaS — CCPA's B2B exemption sunset; employee and B2B data are now in scope

  • Anyone operating a multi-state US privacy program

Our approach

How we get you audit-ready and keep you there.

We don't drop policy templates and disappear. We design controls, implement them in your environment, prepare every artifact, and walk with you through the audit — then operate the program after certification so you stay compliant year over year.

  1. 01

    Applicability & Scoping

    We confirm CCPA applicability, map applicable state laws (VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, UCPA, TDPSA, OCPA, etc.), and design a multi-state program.

  2. 02

    Data Inventory & Disclosures

    We inventory personal information, sensitive personal information, sales, and sharing — and rewrite privacy notices and at-collection disclosures.

  3. 03

    Rights & Signals Operations

    We implement consumer rights workflows (know, delete, correct, limit, opt-out) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) handling.

  4. 04

    Vendor & Contract Remediation

    We remediate vendor contracts to meet CCPA service provider / contractor / third-party requirements and run risk assessments for high-risk processing.

Key controls

What's actually in scope.

  • Privacy policy and just-in-time notices at collection

  • Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link and GPC honoring

  • Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information mechanism

  • Verifiable consumer request workflows (45-day SLA, extendable to 90)

  • Contractor / service provider / third-party contract terms

  • Cybersecurity audit and risk assessment requirements (per CPPA regulations)

Deliverables

What you walk away with.

  • Personal information inventory and category mapping

  • Updated privacy policy and at-collection notices

  • DSAR / opt-out / correction workflow implementation

  • Vendor contract remediation package

  • Multi-state crosswalk and unified compliance matrix

Timeline

Initial CCPA readiness: 8–14 weeks. Multi-state US privacy program: 4–6 months.

Questions we hear

Straight answers to the real questions.

Is CCPA the same as the other state laws?
Similar in spirit, different in detail. CCPA is broader (covers employee and B2B data) and has unique elements like sale/share opt-outs. We build one operational program and map it across every applicable state.
What's CPPA enforcement looking like?
Active and growing. The CPPA has issued multimillion-dollar settlements, focuses heavily on dark patterns, GPC honoring, and vendor contract terms — and is finalizing regulations on automated decisionmaking, cybersecurity audits, and risk assessments.
Do we still need GDPR if we have CCPA?
If you have EU users, yes — they cover different jurisdictions and have meaningfully different requirements. We harmonize them under one operational program with jurisdiction-specific overlays.
