Summary: The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) grants a consumer various rights with
respect to personal information, as defined, that is collected or sold by a business, as defined,
including the right to direct a business that collects sensitive personal information about the consumer
to limit its use, as prescribed. Current law defines “sensitive personal information” to mean, among
other things, personal information that reveals a consumer’s precise geolocation. The California Privacy
Rights Act of 2020, approved by the voters as Proposition 24 at the November 3, 2020, statewide
general election, amended, added to, and reenacted the CCPA. This bill would require a business that
collects precise geolocation information to prominently display, when information is being collected, a
notice to the consumer whose information is being collected that states certain information related to
the collection of the information and its use by the business, including the goods or services requested
by the consumer for which the business is collecting, processing, or disclosing the geolocation
information and a description of how the business will process the geolocation information to carry out
those purposes.
