Discussions surrounding how to ensure data privacy have been replaced with conversations on how citizens' data is being used, collected and processed.

Generally, regulations should continue to pressure companies - including government entities - to provide adequate cybersecurity measures and follow the principle of least privilege to protect the data they have been entitled to collect or process, including transparency and giving users access to their data.

Ultimately, the issue of data privacy will start to evolve into a "Data-rights management" movement, meaning that it will become more about how the personal data is used and what monetization results from the data.

Questions that are arising now include how will citizens be incentivized, even paid, for the use of their data if it's going to be used for marketing purposes? Are we entering a world of 'renting' our data?

CCPA requires that if consumers opt out from having their data used, the business will be required to withhold from selling any data for 12 months.

Regulations like the one above allow the public to have a say over their specific data.
