CCPA (California Consumer Protection Act) is California's ground breaking privacy law that provides data protection of any personal information to California residents. So what's considered personal information under CCPA regulations?
Personal information is any information that can be directly or indirectly tied to an identified or identifiable individual or their household, such as:
- Name
- Phone number
- Social security number
- Email address
- Location data
- Protected health information
- Postal address
- Driver's license
- IP address
- Cookie identifier
- Religious
- Political affiliation
It does not, however, cover any information that is a matter of public record such as federal, state, or local government records.
Businesses that need to aim for CCPA compliance
The CCPA applies to any businesses that collect personal information from California residents and meet at least one of the following:
- Has annual gross revenues of $25 million
- Collects or sells the personal information of 50,000 or more consumers, households or devices
- Obtains 50% or more of its annual revenues from selling consumers’ personal information
While smaller businesses are given some flexibility with CCPA since they don’t qualify as major offenders, any business that handles sensitive data from California consumers needs to aim for compliance.

All data encrypted “in transit”
|
All access to CallRail is encrypted via SSL to protect data from interception on network points between the user and CallRail.
|
All data encrypted “at rest”
|
All call records, web visitor sessions, and call routing data are fully encrypted when stored on disk. This data is seamlessly decrypted as-needed for reporting purposes when accessed by the customer. These precautions protect the data even if hard drives fail, or are decommissioned or stolen.
|
Secure access
|
Individual users are granted their own login credentials, which can be controlled by an administrator. Login sessions automatically expire after a brief period of inactivity to prevent unauthorized access.
|
Firewalls and private network gaps
|
The databases, application servers, and other machines responsible for routing calls through CallRail are isolated and inaccessible via the public internet (except the web application itself, of course). This private network is protected by a pair of redundant hardware firewalls to ensure only expected traffic is allowed.
