California Privacy Rights
The CCPA, or the California Consumer Privacy Act, is the latest privacy law to be enacted in the world that has far-reaching effects. The act came into effect at the beginning of 2020 with the purpose to enhance the rights of California consumers and creating transparent relationships between websites or apps and their users. The act gives consumers "more control" over the personal information that is collected by businesses.
CASL Law
Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) is enacted regulations requiring any individuals or organizations that send commercial electronic messages (CEM) to obtain express consent from all Canadian recipients.
CASL was created to cut down on spam and, as a result, to reduce the frequency of phishing, viruses, identity theft, and other cybercrimes. The legislation applies to all commercial messages transmitted through email, social media, voicemail, text, and instant messages. CASL's opt-in model is more stringent than the opt-out model common in other countries, which merely requires that recipients can easily elect not to receive a marketer's messages.
CASL went into effect on July 1, 2014. The legislation mandates fines of up to one million dollars (Canadian) for individuals and 10 million for organizations. A three-year grace period allows senders to continue communicating with current recipients for whom they have implied consent. However, express consent must be obtained to send to new recipients; senders must also obtain express consent from current recipients within that time span.
