Class covers:

• How the CCPA protects "personal identifying information"
• The CCPA's new requirements for how businesses respond to data breaches
• Consumers' "right to be forgotten": deletion of personal information on request
• New disclosure and opt-in requirements affecting online businesses
• Enforcement provisions of the new law, including a private cause of action
