    Does CCPA Apply to Your Business?

    If your business meets any one of these three thresholds, CCPA applies to you — even if you are based outside California.

    $25M+

    Annual Gross Revenue

    Any for-profit business with annual gross revenue exceeding $25 million in the preceding calendar year.

    100K+

    California Consumers

    Businesses that buy, sell, or share the personal information of 100,000 or more California residents, households, or devices annually.

    50%+

    Revenue From Data

    Businesses that derive 50% or more of their annual revenue from selling or sharing California residents' personal information.

    Not sure? Even if you are based in New York, Texas, or overseas — CCPA applies if you do business with California residents and meet any threshold above.

    A 13-Point CCPA Disclosure Checklist

    PolicyForge organizes common California notice requirements into a 13-point editorial checklist. The exact disclosures depend on your data practices and which CCPA provisions apply.

    Your answers populate the relevant drafting prompts. Review the result against the statute, current regulations, and the way your request and opt-out controls actually work.

    The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) took effect January 1, 2023, significantly strengthening CCPA. Here is what businesses need to know.
