All Rights Reserved. 19-0750LEARN MORELEARN MORE AT AVRS.COM14Auto Dealers Exempt from Certain Portions of California’s New Privacy LawAs the new year approaches, auto dealers now have limited time to ensure their data collection and retention practices are compliant with the far-reaching California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”). The CCPA imposes new privacy regulations on all for-profit entities that collect and process the personal information of California residents and that meet at least one of the following criteria: (1) $25 million annual gross revenue, (2) 50% revenue derived from selling personal information, or (3) receive, buy, or share personal information relating to 50,000 consumers annually. Any auto dealer who meets at least one of these criteria must abide by the CCPA. Under the CCPA, consumers will have a right to know what personal information a dealer collects, sells, or discloses, the dealer’s business purpose for the collection or sale of the information, and the categories of third parties with whom the dealer shares that information. Consumers will have the right to request deletion of their personal information unless an exception applies. Consumers will also have the right to opt out of the sale of their personal information and be free from discrimination for electing to do so. Receiving a deletion request from a consumer also creates an obligation for the dealer to notify its service providers to delete the consumer’s personal information from their records. While complying with the CCPA’s requirements may seem daunting, the Governor has recently signed into law multiple amendments to the CCPA that allow auto dealers to be exempt from certain portions of the law. Credit Report Information ExemptionAssembly Bill 1146 (“AB 1146”) exempts information collected pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”). This means the collection, maintenance, disclosure, sale, communication, or use of any personal information bearing on a consumer’s credit worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living by specified parties is exempt from the CCPA’s provisions. This exemption covers auto dealers and credit reporting agencies which collect and receive consumer credit report information. Accordingly, auto dealers may continue to accurately report and receive information from credit agencies. So long as the auto dealer collects and maintains such information in a manner that is compliant with the FCRA, the auto dealer will be in compliance with the CCPA. Exemption for Vehicle Recall or Warranty Repair InformationAB 1146 also allows dealers and manufacturers to retain and share information that is collected for the purpose of effectuating a vehicle recall or warranty repair. This law exempts vehicle information, including VIN, make, model, year, odometer reading, and the name and contact information of the registered owners shared between a “new motor vehicle dealer” and the vehicle’s manufacturer where such information is shared for the purpose of effectuating, or in anticipation of effectuating a vehicle repair relating to warranty work or a recall pursuant to specified federal law. This information is needed so dealers and manufacturers can ensure their vehicles continue to operate safely. Thus, despite the CCPA’s opt-out and deletion requirements, dealers and manufacturers may continue to store and share this vehicle information between each other when it is used for the purpose of effectuating recalls and vehicle repairs. By Jillian P. Harris, Esq. and Jacob P. Menicucci, Esq., Ferruzzo & FerruzzoSigned into law in 2018, Senate Bill 1121 exempts from the CCPA data collected, used, stored, disclosed, or sold in compliance with the requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”). The GLBA regulates management of personally identifiable financial information provided by a consumer to a financial institution or resulting from any transaction with the consumer or any service performed for the consumer. Auto dealers who collect, maintain, and transfer personal information that is subject to and in compliance with the GLBA will also be compliant with the CCPA. Dealers who collect and share information not covered by the GLBA must still comply with the CCPA. Employment-Related Information ExemptionUnder CCPA, until 2021 an individual does not have a right under the CCPA to request that a business delete all of that individual’s personal information if that information was collected because the individual was a job applicant to, an employee of, owner of, director of, officer of, or contractor of the dealership. This exemption is designed to carve-out employee data when the dealership uses the data for employment relationship purposes. Dealers will still need to comply with other portions of the CCPA such as the disclosure requirements and right to opt-out of sales of personal information.Many Provisions of the CCPA Still Apply to Auto DealersDespite these exemptions, dealers who obtain, maintain, and share consumer information for purposes not covered by the exemptions still must comply with the CCPA. For example, auto dealers who collect non-aggregated information for marketing purposes must comply with the CCPA. As noted above, some of the highlighted exemptions are partial exemptions which require auto dealers and manufacturers to still comply with the CCPA’s notification and disclosure requirements but not the CCPA’s deletion and opt-out requirements. Additionally, civil actions may still be brought against dealers and manufacturers by consumers whose information is subject to a data breach.The CCPA goes into effect on January 1, 2020 and will be enforced six months after the Attorney General finalized regulations are released, or on July 1, 2020 at the latest. If you have any questions about how the CCPA could affect your dealership, our attorneys are available to provide guidance on this rapidly evolving issue. Jillian P.

OCADA recently launched OC Driven for Success, a 501(c)3 organization that is devoted to developing highly skilled technicians ready to join our industry. OC Driven for Success will expand automotive technician workforce development through: • Outreach - OC Driven for Success staff will educate over 1,500 high school and college students annually on the opportunities our industry provides. Additionally, to stop the trend of high school automotive classes being terminated, we communicate to the Department of Education, counselors and ROPs the importance of budgeting to keep high school automotive programs.• Scholarships - Future technicians will receive community college scholarships for Automotive Technology to diminish the costs of tuition, books, tools and other requirements to successfully learn the skillset needed to be an Auto Tech.• Placement - Auto Tech students will be connected with dealership positions at recruiting fairs hosted by OC Driven for Success on community college campuses.OCADA will ask our manufacturer partners to support OC Driven for Success with donations to help build a skilled workforce for the future of our industry.
