Preliminary Comments on Notices, Disclosures, and Employee Data
Summary
The California Privacy Protection Agency (CalPrivacy) is seeking preliminary written comments from the public on regulatory changes related to notices and disclosures and employee data. Comments will be accepted from April 20, 2026 through May 20, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. PT. The preliminary comments are to assist with rulemaking activities and do not represent any decisions regarding future rulemaking.
“All preliminary comments received by CalPrivacy are public records subject to disclosure and may be included in future rulemaking packages.”
Companies subject to California privacy law should review whether their current notice and disclosure practices and employee data handling procedures could be affected by potential CPPA rulemaking in this area. Businesses with specific operational concerns about notice requirements or employee data provisions may consider filing preliminary comments before the May 20 deadline — all submissions become public records and may inform future regulatory requirements.
What changed
CalPrivacy has initiated a preliminary rulemaking inquiry into notices and disclosures and employee data under the California Consumer Privacy Act. This consultation invites written comments to inform whether regulatory changes are necessary. Preliminary comments do not reflect agency decisions and will be public records. If CalPrivacy proceeds to propose formal regulations, a separate public comment period under the Administrative Procedure Act will follow.
Businesses operating in California, particularly those subject to CCPA/CPRA requirements, should monitor this rulemaking activity and consider submitting comments if they have operational concerns about notice, disclosure, or employee data requirements. Any preliminary comments filed will become public records and may be included in future rulemaking packages.
