## Staying CCPA Compliant

Though most of the work takes place at the front end, it is important for businesses to keep their CCPA compliance up to date as time passes. Besides responding to privacy requests as they come in, this means performing a few maintenance tasks on a quarterly and annual basis.

### Quarterly CCPA Maintenance

- Check privacy inbox for outstanding consumer requests
  
  It’s also a good idea to review how long it is taking for staff to respond to requests.
- Make sure all questions and concerns from the privacy inbox have been answered
  
  Even if they are not formal privacy requests, these are messages that should still be answered.
- Confirm business is complying with past opt-out requests
  
  Businesses must wait at least 12 months before asking a consumer to opt in again.
- Ensure that new employees handling privacy requests have received CCPA training
  
  The [Complete CCPA Guide](https://safe.truevault.com/ccpa-guide?hsLang=en) is a great introduction to the data privacy law.
- Add or remove vendors from the data map
  
  This is likely the most difficult task. You must review contracts with any new vendors to determine whether they qualify as [CCPA service providers](https://safe.truevault.com/ccpa-guide/what-is-the-ccpa#what-is-a-service-provider).

### Annual CCPA Maintenance

- Review data map and make any necessary changes
  
  Your business’s data practices will likely change over time. At least once a year, make sure the data map is still accurate.
- Update privacy policy to reflect changes to data map
  
  The CCPA requires businesses to review their privacy policy annually. If the data map is kept up to date, this should be a simple process.
- Point-of-Collection Audit
  
  Check whether you are collecting personal information at any new points.
- Review request-handling instructions
  
  Make sure requests are being handled in a compliant manner. Also look for any areas that can be improved.
- Refresh privacy documents as needed
  
  Service providers’ data privacy agreements (DPAs) may have been updated. Make sure you have the most current versions on file.
- Check for any changes to the data privacy law and compliance landscape
  
  Subscribe to a data privacy newsletter for the latest developments with the CCPA and other laws.
