“Right now, we’re committed to enforcing the law upon finalizing the rules or July 1, whichever comes first,” an advisor to Becerra said. “We’re all mindful of the new reality created by COVID-19 and the heightened value of protecting consumers’ privacy online that comes with it. We encourage businesses to be particularly mindful of data security in this time of emergency.”
