The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http:\/\/consumercal.org\/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa\/#sthash.0FdRbT51.dpuf<\/p>\n
