CCPA vs. GDPR: How location affects enterprise compliance

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) are data privacy protection laws in the EU and California, respectively, that regulate how firms handle and share consumers' personal information. Both laws have different scopes and approaches but aim to give consumers more control over their data. Understanding the differences between CCPA and GDPR is crucial for businesses operating globally or planning to do so. Compliance with these regulations can help startups close bigger deals, stand out from competitors, and protect against fines and embarrassment.
