description: 'The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), is a state
  statute that grants California residents rights over their personal information: the right to know, delete, correct, opt-out
  of sale/sharing, limit use of sensitive personal information, and non-discrimination for exercising privacy rights. It is
  enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and the California Attorney General. Technical interoperability
  mechanisms include the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal and the IAB Tech Lab US Privacy (USP) / Global Privacy
  Platform (GPP) signals for advertising technology. This index tracks the official regulatory resources, technical privacy
  signals, and commercial APIs that help businesses comply with CCPA/CPRA obligations.'
