Prop 24

Since we passed CCPA, two things have happened: First, some of the world’s largest companies have actively and explicitly prioritized weakening the law. Second, technological tools have evolved in ways that exploit a consumer’s data with potentially dangerous consequences. We believe using a consumer’s data in these ways is not only immoral, but it also threatens our democracy.

It is for this reason that we have proposed a November 2020 ballot measure to strengthen the law: Proposition 24, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) – it will give you the power to take back control of your personal information and will:

Protect Our Personal Information

Creates new rights allowing you to stop businesses using your sensitive personal information, including about our health or finances, or knowing and selling our location without our knowledge or consent.

Safeguard Our Children's Privacy

Triple CCPA’s fines for collecting and selling our children’s private information and would require opt-in consent to sell from consumers under the age of 16.

Establish an Enforcement Arm

Establishes a new authority to protect these rights, the California Privacy Protection Agency. Increases transparency through this agency, giving consumers back control over their data.
