Project Description:

Corporations make promises and warranties in their marketing and labeling about respecting consumers’ privacy choices. California now has the ultimate test of how well they live up to their word with the implementation of the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) in 2022 – 2023. Some companies are fighting implementation of new privacy rights rules while others are encouraging them. The Truth In Privacy Project will chart the development of the new rules with an eye toward chronicling which companies make good on their privacy rights stances and which don’t. The education project will utilize the free and social media to educate the public about companies’ and industries’ stances on the new privacy rights rules being developed.
