Facebook Privacy Compliance Requirements

Summary

Facebook must comply with both the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and Singapores Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) when handling account deletions. The CCPA requires deletion upon request, with some exceptions, while the PDPA allows data retention for business purposes. Facebook can justify retaining data under CCPA if it meets specific criteria, such as completing transactions, detecting security incidents, or complying with legal obligations.

the pdpa says that a company may keep personal information for business purposes. however, the ccpa does not grant this. is facebook operates in california and justifies that it keeps the personal information of a singaporean for business purposes, is it violating legal rights?
The scenario you're describing is complex and involves the intersection of multiple jurisdictions' privacy laws. Here are some key points:
- California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA): Requires businesses to delete personal information upon request, with some exceptions.
- Singapore Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA): Allows retention of personal data for business purposes.
If Facebook operates in California, it must comply with the CCPA. If a Singaporean requests account deletion, Facebook should comply with CCPA requirements, unless it can justify an exemption under CCPA.
Would you like more details on the specific exceptions under the CCPA?
in thsi case can facebook justify an exemption?
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Facebook may be able to justify an exemption for retaining personal information if it meets specific criteria, such as:
- Completing the transaction for which the data was collected.
- Detecting security incidents.
- Complying with a legal obligation.
Facebook would need to provide a valid business reason that falls under these exceptions. Would you like to know more about any specific exemption criteria?
