Overview
The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 is a California law intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of the U.S. state.
Starting on January 1, 2020, companies or organizations that do business in California will be required to comply with the state’s strict new privacy legislation that establishes a legal and enforceable right of privacy for every California resident. The new regulations are not just for businesses based in California; they apply to all companies that do business in the state, independent of the location of the organization’s incorporation.
Akamai Compliance
With respect to the CCPA, Akamai acts as a service provider for our customers. Customers are ultimately the responsible party with respect to the CCPA obligations associated with their Internet properties that use Akamai services.
All Akamai services comply with the CCPA. This means that not only can customers continue using their existing Akamai services, they can also deploy services such as Akamai Identity Cloud as a key part of their CCPA compliance strategy.
CCPA requires that California consumer personal data processed by an organization is appropriately and sufficiently managed and protected. In an interconnected world, where many web applications and websites collect and use personal data, this can be a big challenge. Akamai’s intelligent edge platform can be leveraged to help customers meet this challenge. It offers strong data management and security capabilities based on a self-service data management tool, a team of qualified security professionals, flexible and high-quality processes, and recognized state-of-the-art technology.

Q&A
Is Open Banking the same as PSD2?
Open Banking is the PSD2 implementation in UK. It is based on a ruling — issued in August 2016 by the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) — that required the nine biggest UK banks to allow licensed startups direct access to their data down to the level of transaction account transactions.

Why is the PSD2 implementation always a customized solution?
PSD2 will always be a custom implementation because of the unique needs of each certificate authority Trust Provider (TP), specific legislation for EU countries, and internal compliance requirements according to individual company policies.
