California Court of Appeal Lifts Stay of CCPA Enforcement Deadlines

February 29, 2024

The Case

In a significant ruling on February 9, 2024, the California Court of Appeal reversed a trial court judgment that had stayed enforcement of California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regulations. This decision will make certain CCPA regulations, which a court order had previously stayed, become immediately effective once again.


Why Does This Matter?

The action highlights how new CCPA legislations are forcing a radical rethink for collecting, storing, and deploying personal information. Some of the key concerns highlighted by this and previous actions include:

  • transparency of data breach disclosures

  • multi-factor authentication for email accounts

  • security of cloud-based email accounts, and 

  • the importance of implementing an adequate incident response plan. 


Such heightened regulatory focus underscores the need for fintechs to maintain cybersecurity measures and protect client data.

The SEC’s order finds that, from at least October 2018 until January 2022, an investment advisory firm stated in its offering materials and other documents provided to prospective and existing private fund investors that it was voluntarily complying with AML due diligence laws despite those laws not applying to investment advisors.
