Listen "Tractor Supply: The first CCPA case involving HR data"
Episode Synopsis
Tractor Supply: The first CCPA case about job applicants' privacy (and the largest CPPA settlement yet). Don't forget: Unlike other states, California's privacy law applies to data about employees and job applicants.Tractor Supply settled for $1.35 million for failing to tell job applicants about their rights (among other, more commonplace violations—GPC, Do Not Sell, the usual stuff).The company provided a "notice at collection" telling applicants what types of data it collected and why. But the notice neglected to mention Californians' CCPA rights.Counting applicants and employees as "consumers" is one of several things that makes California's privacy law—if not the strictest—the most complicated to comply with.I think this is an area that has failed to reach many companies' compliance radars.Can we expect more HR-related cases from the CPPA?Or maybe a B2B data case will come next? That can be "personal information" too under the CCPA!
