Calif. AG Targets Mobile Apps in CCPA Sweep

California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) sent letters to businesses with mobile apps that may violate the California Consumer Privacy Act, the AG office said Friday. The investigative sweep includes popular apps in the retail, travel and food service industries that allegedly fail to allow opt-out requests or allow consumers to stop sale of their data, it said. “I urge the tech industry to innovate for good -- including developing and adopting user-enabled global privacy controls for mobile operating systems that allow consumers to stop apps from selling their data,” said Bonta.
