• Abstract: On January 1, 2020, California passed the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) by more than 56% of voters intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California, United States. Since then, more conditions have been added to the Act to support consumers' privacy. In addition, two years after the first effective day of CCPA, consumers have seen California organizations apply approaches to adapt to CCPA. Many organizations quickly upgrade their policy to comply with the legislation and create effective platforms such as data portals that allow consumers to exercise their privacy rights. However, on the other hand, we still noticed aspects of CCPA being absent on some websites. Additionally, we found no prior evaluation of the CCPA implementation in organizations. Therefore, the convergence of the regulatory landscape and the organization's privacy policy needs to be studied. This paper was about an empirical evaluation of the implementation of the California Consumer Privacy Act. The report includes the evaluations of the following industries: social media, financial institutions, mortgages, healthcare providers, and academic institutions. Our approach was to set up a criteria table constructed from the CCPA Act and then use that table as a checklist while reviewing a company's privacy notice. Finally, we concluded this paper with an online tool application design that verifies the CCPA implementation. Upon completion, the application would be free to use so consumers can quickly inspect a website for CCPA compliance. Additionally, it is an advising tool that a website admin can utilize to enhance CCPA compliance for their website. The conjunction of this empirical report and a practical application function as a stimulus to promote CCPA implementation in organizations and deliver awareness to consumers about privacy rights they can demand.

• Measuring Compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act Over Space and Time [7.971611687303297]
  The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) mandates that online businesses offer consumers the option to opt out of the sale and sharing of personal information. Our study automatically tracks the presence of the opt-out link longitudinally across multiple states after the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) went into effect. We find a number of websites that implement the opt-out link early and across all examined states but also find a significant number of CCPA-subject websites that fail to offer any opt-out methods even when CCPA is in effect.

  Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse. Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes. We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.

  Vagueness and ambiguity in privacy policies threaten the ability of consumers to make informed choices about how businesses collect, use, and share personal information. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018 was intended to provide Californian consumers with more control by mandating that businesses clearly disclose their data practices. Our results suggest that CCPA's mandates for privacy disclosures, as currently implemented, have not yet yielded the level of clarity they were designed to deliver.
