MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ID.me, the industry leader in secure online Identity verification, today announced an identity proofing and authentication solution for businesses required to comply with the upcoming California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). ID.me's highly secure platform empowers businesses to streamline identity verification to get compliant with CCPA as well as reduce the risks associated with data breaches and hacks. More than four million California residents already have ID.me accounts, ensuring seamless integration into CCPA compliance software and consumer-facing portals.

The California Consumer Privacy Act, which takes effect on January 1, 2020, grants new privacy rights to California consumers. More than 500,000 companies nationwide that conduct business in the state of California and meet certain revenue or consumer data management criteria are expected to be impacted by the new law. A critical piece of CCPA compliance, ID.me's secure and accurate identity verification solution enables businesses to instantly verify the identity of consumers who submit Subject Rights Requests (SRR) or Data Subject Access Requests (DSAR). By verifying identities before responding to DSAR/SRR requests and sharing sensitive, personal data, ID.me ensures businesses remain compliant while maintaining consumer trust.
