Meanwhile, on Friday, the CPPA opened its comment period for revised draft rules on cybersecurity audits, risk assessments, automated decision-making technology and insurance companies. As decided May 1, comments are due June 2 (see 2505020034).
While Californians have strong privacy rights, “many of us don’t have the time, expertise, and/or patience to exercise our rights, given the thousands of organizations that collect and process our personal data,” wrote Kemp. “Too often, exercising one’s privacy rights becomes a chore requiring constant repetition. Privacy should be easy and able to be done at scale.”
Kemp noted the CPPA’s work implementing a delete request and opt-out platform for making data-deletion requests. The agency seeks comments by June 10 on that rulemaking (see 2504250012). In addition, the executive director urged consumers to use universal opt-out preference signals like the Global Privacy Control.
Kemp made similar remarks at the privacy agency’s May 1 meeting (see 2505010043).
