The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) recently fined clothing retailer Todd Snyder almost $350,000 for two types of consumer privacy errors. Due to technical errors during a 40-day period, it was impossible for Todd Snyder website users to request to opt out of having their information sold or shared. When users clicked the button for the Cookie Preferences Center, the consent banner would appear but instantly disappear, thus making it impossible for anyone to actually opt out. For those who were able to actually access the preferences center, Todd Snyder over-collected information from its users who wanted to opt out of having their information sold or shared. Todd Snyder’s data request form required users to verify their identity by submitting a photograph of themselves holding their identity document, even when they wanted to opt out.Continue Reading Check Your Process or Pay Your Fine: Recent 6-Figure Fines from the California Privacy Protection Agency
