CPRA Compliance
California Privacy Rights Act compliance made manageable. From assessment to implementation.
CPRA Isn't Optional — And the Penalties Are Real
The California Privacy Rights Act imposes penalties of up to $7,500 per intentional violation. Consumer data subject access requests (DSARs) must be fulfilled within 45 days. The law applies to any business that collects California residents' personal information — regardless of where you're headquartered. Most organizations are out of compliance without realizing it.

📋 Data Inventory
Comprehensive inventory of personal information across all your systems. Know what data you collect, where it's stored, who has access, and how long you retain it.
📝 DSAR Workflows
Automated workflows for handling consumer data requests — access, deletion, correction, and opt-out. Meet the 45-day deadline consistently with documented procedures.
🔒 Privacy Controls
Technical controls to protect consumer data. Encryption, access restrictions, data minimization, and purpose limitation enforced through technology, not just policy.
📄 Policy Documentation
Privacy policies, notices at collection, opt-out mechanisms, and internal procedures documented and published. Ready for regulatory review at any time.
🏷️ Sensitive Data Protection
CPRA's expanded definition of sensitive personal information requires additional protections. We implement DLP and access controls specific to sensitive PI categories.
📊 Compliance Monitoring
Ongoing monitoring of your compliance posture. Track DSARs, review policy effectiveness, and maintain audit-ready documentation as regulations evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does CPRA apply to my business?
If you collect personal information from California residents and meet any threshold — $25M+ revenue, 100,000+ consumers/households, or 50%+ revenue from selling PI — CPRA applies. It doesn't matter where your business is located. Many organizations are covered without realizing it.
What's the difference between CCPA and CPRA?
CPRA amended and expanded CCPA. Key additions include: sensitive personal information as a new category, data minimization requirements, expanded consumer rights (correction, opt-out of automated decision-making), and a dedicated enforcement agency (CPPA). If you were CCPA compliant, you likely need updates for CPRA.
What happens if we receive a DSAR we can't fulfill in 45 days?
You can request a 45-day extension with proper notice to the consumer. However, repeated extensions or missed deadlines signal non-compliance. Our automated DSAR workflows ensure you meet deadlines consistently with documented response procedures.
Do we need a privacy lawyer?
We recommend having privacy counsel review your policies. CMTG provides the technical compliance program — data inventory, controls, DSAR workflows, and monitoring — while your legal team validates the policies and notices. We work collaboratively with your attorneys.
How do you handle the "right to delete" requests?
Our DSAR workflow identifies all locations where the consumer's data is stored, verifies the requestor's identity, executes deletion across systems, documents the action for compliance records, and confirms completion to the consumer — all within the 45-day window.
