How to participate in California Privacy Protection Agency rulemaking

The California Privacy Protection Agency is encouraging public participation in its formal rulemaking process, which develops regulations that implement and interpret the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the Delete Act. Public comment is taken into consideration before the Board votes on advancing proposed regulations.

Unidentified Speaker (Presenter) said members of the public can subscribe to the agency's mailing list at cppa.ca.gov to receive rulemaking updates and notices. The speaker directed listeners to cppa.ca.gov/meetings to find scheduled public comment hearings and explained that comments can be submitted in writing during the designated comment period or provided orally at a hearing.

The presentation included practical tips for commenters: submit comments within the designated period; focus remarks on the specific proposed regulations rather than unrelated topics; be aware that all comments become public record and should not include information you do not want disclosed; and you only need to submit your comment once. The presenter stated, "Written and oral comments are treated equally," and suggested using email for faster updates when submitting written comments.

The segment closed by directing listeners to privacy.ca.gov for additional information about privacy rights and related resources. No formal votes or motions were taken in this informational segment; it is a public-information briefing describing how to engage in the agency's rulemaking process.
