Does the CCPA apply to nonprofits?

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) generally does not apply to nonprofit organizations. The law primarily applies to qualifying for-profit businesses that do business in California and meet specific revenue, data-processing, or data-sharing thresholds.

However, nonprofits may work with service providers, contractors, or other organizations that are subject to the CCPA. Other privacy laws may also apply depending on the type of personal information they collect and how it is used.

Nonprofits should therefore review their data practices and applicable privacy requirements rather than assuming that no privacy obligations apply.
