The CCPA is a privacy law that provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal data. The CCPA aims to give consumers more control over their personal information and how it's collected, shared, and sold by businesses. Here’s a breakdown of the key rights under the CCPA:

1. Right to Know

Consumers have the right to know what personal information a business collects about them. They can request details about:

• The categories of personal information collected.
• The specific pieces of personal information collected.
• The purposes for which the information is being used.

Consumers can request the deletion of their personal information that a business has collected, subject to certain exceptions (e.g., if the information is needed to complete a transaction or comply with legal obligations).

Consumers have the right to opt-out of the sale of their personal information to third parties. This right must be clearly communicated to users, and businesses must provide a "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link on their website.
4. Right to Non-Discrimination

Consumers cannot be discriminated against for exercising their CCPA rights. This means businesses cannot provide a lower level of service or deny access to services just because a consumer has requested to delete or opt out of the sale of their data.
5. Right to Access

In addition to knowing what information is being collected, consumers can request a copy of the personal information a business has about them.
6. Right to Correct

Consumers have the right to request that businesses correct inaccurate personal information that they may have on file.
7. Right to Limit Data Use (in some cases)

Under the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which amends and expands the CCPA, consumers can ask businesses to limit the use of sensitive personal information for certain purposes (e.g., for targeted advertising).

The CCPA is enforced by the California Attorney General, and businesses that violate the law can face penalties, including fines for non-compliance and for not adhering to consumer requests regarding their data.

These rights primarily apply to businesses that meet certain thresholds, such as those that collect data on a large scale or generate a significant amount of revenue.
