California has no jurisdiction outside of California, period. If you are not based in California and do not deal with the data of Californians, then you are not subject to it. If either of these things are true though, you probably are subject to it. The problem of course is that you may not know that you are dealing with a Californian’s data. For example, you may have scraped an email address and have no idea who it belongs to. I suspect that for this reason, I got a bunch of emails from affiliate programs recently saying that they had to close because of this law. Example: “Unfortunately, the Yelp For Business Owners program is being paused immediately due to 2020 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) concerns. As of the sending of this notification we have expired all affiliates, which will be effective 1/13/20. As you may be aware, the newly enacted California Consumer Privacy Act has placed new requirements on Yelp. While we evaluate the implications of these requirements, we are taking the step of temporarily pausing our affiliate program. Thank you for all of your hard work in 2019 and we?re looking forward to working more closely with all of you in 2020 once we work past this issue.”
