Jul 14, 2020$7,500 per violation.
There is no private right of action for violations of the CCPA related to an individual’s right to be forgotten. The CCPA provides that the maximum fine that may be imposed by the Attorney General is $7,500 “for each intentional violation.”1That said, it remains to be seen how such “violations” will be computed by the Attorney General.
