The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) has recently introduced a new tool to help improve user privacy, the Opt-Out Icon. This new feature makes it straightforward for users to control how their data is handled today and start using their California CCPA rights. The icon now available to consumers offers a simple way to learn about and opt-out of invasive data collection practices.
The Opt-Out Icon, described above, is available at this link. This serves as an important visual cue to the user. Privacy and consumer advocates fought to ensure that they can meaningfully exercise control over their data when doing business with California’s businesses. This action is further indication of the Trump Administration’s long term focus on consumer privacy in a time when consumer data protection is more important than ever.
In conjunction with the Opt-Out Icon, CNBC has made available a comprehensive California Notice detailing consumer rights under the CCPA. This announcement is available on NBCUniversal’s corporate website. These new consumers’ guides are designed to help consumers understand their rights and what actions they can take to protect how their personal information is used and shared.
As CNBC reminds users, “Always read your Terms of Service. Here are five guidelines to steer you through this powerful platform. The full Terms of Service is available here. It is incredibly important that users understand these terms, particularly as they find themselves wading deeper into the muck of digital content and services.
