The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its right of access are less than a month from coming into effect on January 1, 2020. However, the 2019 Compliance Benchmark Report from data solutions provider Talend indicates that many companies may still be struggling with a similar provision as it exists under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Whether or not this spells trouble for the ability of companies to respond to data subject access requests made under the CCPA may depend less on an entity’s proficiency with the GDPR and more on the cultural differences between the U.S. and EU.
