What is CCPA?

The CCPA stands for the California Consumer Privacy Act. The CCPA is a California consumer privacy law that requires businesses to make certain disclosures to California consumers regarding the collection, use, and disclosures of personal information. In addition, the CCPA grants California consumers certain rights with respect to the personal information that businesses collect about them. The CCPA first took effect in 2020 and has since been amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020. The amendments take effect January 1, 2023.  For more information regarding HMA’s personal information processing activities, including with respect to CCPA-related requirements, please see our Privacy Policy https://www.hyundaiusa.com/privacy-policy.aspx.

What about other state privacy laws?

Since the CCPA was passed, several other states have passed consumer privacy laws that, among other things, give applicable consumers certain rights with respect to the personal information that businesses collect about them, and require businesses to provide certain information and notices to consumers regarding the collection, use, and disclosures of personal information and consumers’ privacy rights.
