FCC Announces Partnership with California Privacy Protection Agency

The Federal Communications Commission’s Privacy and Data Protection Task Force announced a new Memorandum of Understanding with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA). Unlike state Attorneys General offices, which are responsible for enforcing all state laws and regulations, the CPPA is dedicated exclusively to protecting consumers’ privacy rights. The FCC’s partnership with this unique state agency, tasked with enforcing the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, will ensure both agencies can align their efforts to best protect consumer privacy, ensure businesses and consumers are well‐informed about their rights and obligations, and enforce privacy laws.
