The new law goes into effect on January 1, 2020. Google already offers data protection terms pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, and is now also offering service provider terms under the CCPA, which will supplement those existing data protection terms (revised to reflect the CCPA), effective January 1, 2020.
