    This article is an exploratory analysis of the impact of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) on data breaches that result in exposing sensitive private data of consumers. The CCPA applies to large for-profit businesses that collect and disseminate personal information of Californian consumers. It provides for consumer rights and imposes notification and security requirements on businesses that collect private information. We analyzed how CCPA affects data breach notifications that are required by the state's Office of Auditor General, for the period 2012 to 2023. The analysis provides interesting insights into the impact of CCPA on the pattern of data breaches. Our principal finding is that privacy breaches reduced to some extent after CCPA.
