Recently, California’s privacy agency imposed the highest fine in the state’s history for violations of privacy laws, a situation triggered by a complaint filed by a consumer. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), in effect since 2020, grants citizens fundamental rights, such as the right to know, delete, and correct the information that companies collect about them, as well as the option to opt-out of certain data uses and sharing.
To enforce these rights, Californians can easily file complaints, a key aspect of monitoring and enforcing the regulations. Individuals who suspect that a company is not complying with the regulations can visit the California Privacy Protection Agency’s website, where they will find the option to submit a complaint. This form is accessible online and can also be printed for submission in paper format.
The process for filing a complaint begins with a questionnaire that outlines consumers’ rights under the CCPA. As they progress through the form, claimants must provide details about their situation and any evidence supporting their claim, such as emails or conversation records.
Consumers also have the option to file a complaint anonymously or to submit a sworn complaint, which requires providing contact information. While providing contact details does not guarantee that the agency will reach out, it facilitates better tracking of the process. It is essential that consumers feel encouraged to express their concerns and assert their rights, as each complaint can serve as the starting point for a meaningful investigation that contributes to better compliance with the law.
