CA Supreme Court Confirms Dynamex Applies Retroactively

By Ashley M. Farrell Pickett, Lindsay E. Hutner & Bryan W. Patton

January 15, 2021

On Jan. 14, 2021, the California Supreme Court issued its long-awaited ruling on whether the “ABC test” articulated in its 2018 Dynamex Operations West Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles decision applies retroactively. At stake is the status of thousands of workers classified as independent contractors prior to Dynamex.

Is a company that accepts credit cards a service provider under the CCPA with respect to credit card related information?

By David A. Zetoony & Jena M. Valdetero

January 14, 2021

Potentially. Some consumers may assume that a company owns the payment card-related information that it collects when it accepts payment cards (e.g., credit or debit cards). In order to process payment cards, however, a company typically must enter into a written contract with a payment processor or merchant-bank. Those contracts often specify that payment card-related data is “owned” by the payment brands (i.e., Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover) and require the company that accepts…

How the heck are businesses supposed to give people privacy notices if they collect personal information over the phone?

By David A. Zetoony

January 13, 2021

The regulations implementing the CCPA make clear that the notice at collection (or the privacy notice if it is being used to satisfy the notice at collection) does not have to be physically provided to a consumer; instead a business must make it “readily available” in a location where consumers are likely to encounter it.1 In the context of information that is collected over the telephone, a business “may provide the notice [at collection] orally.”2…
