State Privacy Enforcement Tracker: Every CCPA and State Privacy Fine and Settlement

How big are CCPA fines?

CCPA fines are real now, and they are getting bigger. The record is General Motors' $12.75 million settlement on May 8, 2026, over selling drivers' location and driving data. Each violation can cost up to $2,663, or $7,988 if it is intentional or involves a minor under 16, and regulators count violations generously.

For years the CCPA looked like a law with a loud bark and very few bites. One settlement in 2022, none in 2023, two in 2024. That pattern broke in 2025, when California announced six CCPA settlements and fines, and 2026 has already produced the biggest one yet.

This tracker lists every public monetary action we could confirm under the CCPA, California's Delete Act and the newer state privacy laws, plus the large Texas cases brought under older statutes. Below the charts, we explain what the cases have in common and which contract terms decide who pays when a vendor is the one that slipped.

General Motors at $12.75 million towers over the next case, Disney at $2.75 million. Most of the rest sit between $345,178 and $1.55 million, a range that hurts a mid-size company without threatening it.

How big are CCPA fines, really?

Bigger than they were, and still small next to Texas. The largest CCPA penalty is General Motors at $12.75 million, announced May 8, 2026 and still subject to court approval. Before that the record was Disney at $2.75 million in February 2026, and before that Healthline Media at $1.55 million.

The statute sets the price per violation. Since January 1, 2025, that is up to $2,663 for each violation and $7,988 for each intentional violation or one involving consumers the business knows are under 16. The old figures were $2,500 and $7,500. The word that matters is "each." A broken opt-out button is not one violation. Regulators can count each affected consumer separately, which is how a website bug turns into a seven-figure settlement.

Texas plays in a different league. Its settlements with Meta for $1.4 billion and Google for $1.375 billion came under biometric and other state claims rather than a consumer privacy law, but they show what a determined state attorney general can extract.

What do companies actually get fined for?

Read the cases and a pattern shows up fast. Very few involve hackers. Most involve a privacy choice that the company offered on paper but that did not work in practice. That is good news in one sense: these are problems you can find and fix before a regulator does.

  • Opt-outs that fail. Disney's settlement turned on opt-outs that did not carry across devices and services. If a customer says stop selling my data, it has to stop everywhere.
  • Friction. Ford paid $375,703 in March 2026 for adding unnecessary steps to its opt-out process. Making people verify their identity or jump through extra hoops just to opt out counts against you.
  • Selling sensitive data quietly. The General Motors case was about selling drivers' location and driving-behavior data.
  • Tracking tools you did not configure. Pixels, cookies and ad tags installed by marketing teams or vendors are a recurring theme, from Sephora in 2022 to the Connecticut TaxAct settlement for $275,000 in August 2026.
  • Missing contract terms. California expects specific language in contracts with the companies you share data with. Regulators have cited gaps in those contracts, including in Honda's $632,500 order.

Why did privacy enforcement speed up in 2025?

Three things changed at once. First, California now has two enforcers instead of one. CalPrivacy fined its first data brokers in late 2024 and issued its first CCPA fine in March 2025, against Honda. It does not need to go to court to do it. The Attorney General kept bringing its own cases on top of that.

Second, the penalty amounts went up. The inflation adjustment that took effect on January 1, 2025 is small per violation, but the law repeats it every two years, so the numbers will keep rising.

Third, the cases got easier to bring. Most of them test things anyone can check from outside: does the opt-out link work, does the cookie banner stop the tracking, is the data broker registered. Regulators do not need a whistleblower for that. A browser is often enough.

For a business, the takeaway is simple. The question is no longer whether privacy rules get enforced. It is whether your own setup, and the vendors behind it, would hold up if someone clicked through it today.

Are states other than California enforcing their privacy laws?

Yes, though slowly. The Future of Privacy Forum counted 15 public enforcement actions under state consumer privacy laws in 2025, after only three in all the years before. That count includes five Texas lawsuits against connected TV makers. When FPF counts these, it means the broad consumer privacy laws that states such as Connecticut and Texas passed after California.

Connecticut announced its first settlement under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act in July 2025, an $85,000 deal with TicketNetwork. Texas filed the first lawsuit under a state consumer privacy law against Allstate and its data unit Arity in January 2025, and in October 2026 announced a $3 million settlement with Temu over deceptive data-exposure claims.

The amounts outside California are modest so far, but the first case in any state is usually a warning shot. Once an attorney general has a template, the next ones come faster.

Can a vendor's mistake get your business fined?

Yes, and this is the part most small companies miss. Privacy law puts the duty on the business that collects the data. If your analytics vendor, chat widget or marketing platform mishandles it, the regulator's letter still comes to you.

Say you run an online store and use a consent tool that a vendor set up. If the tool keeps sending data to ad networks after a shopper opts out, that is your violation. Your only route to get the money back is the contract you signed with the vendor, and many standard SaaS terms cap the vendor's liability at the fees you paid over the past year, and some exclude regulatory fines altogether.

The same logic runs in reverse. If you are a freelancer or agency that installs tracking code or handles customer lists for clients, a client facing a fine will look at your contract to see what you promised. Broad promises to comply with all privacy laws, paired with unlimited indemnity, can leave a one-person shop holding a bill it never priced into the job. Limit your promise to the work you actually do, and get instructions about tracking in writing.

What should you do now?

  • Make a list of every tool that touches customer data, including pixels and plug-ins, and find the contract or terms for each.
  • Check that each vendor contract limits how the vendor can use your data, including for training its own products.
  • Test your own opt-out flow on a phone and a laptop. If it is annoying to you, it is a risk.
  • Ask vendors whether their liability cap carves out data protection and privacy claims. If not, push for a separate, higher cap.
  • If you share or sell data, confirm you are not acting as an unregistered data broker. Every fine on the data broker chart above came from that alone.
  • If you do client work, keep a written record of what tracking you installed and on whose instructions.

How ClauseAudit helps

Almost every case in this tracker had a contract somewhere in the background: a vendor agreement, a data processing addendum, or terms that let a partner use data more freely than the customer ever agreed to. Our automated review reads your SaaS or vendor contract and flags the clauses that decide who carries the risk if a regulator calls.

Upload the agreement or paste the text and you get each risky clause in plain English, with a suggested fix you can send back to the vendor.

  • Data use limits: whether the vendor can use, sell, share or train models on your customer data
  • Liability cap: whether privacy and data protection claims are carved out of a low cap
  • Indemnity: whether the vendor covers fines and claims caused by its own mistakes
  • Data processing terms: whether a DPA with the required restrictions is attached and binding
  • Breach notice and cooperation: how fast the vendor must tell you and help you respond
  • Deletion on termination: whether your data is returned and deleted when the contract ends

Frequently asked questions

What is the largest CCPA fine so far?

The largest is General Motors at $12.75 million, announced May 8, 2026 by the California Attorney General with four county district attorneys. It concerns the sale of drivers' location and driving-behavior data and is subject to court approval. The previous record was Disney's $2.75 million settlement in February 2026.

How much is a CCPA fine per violation?

From January 1, 2025, the CCPA allows up to $2,663 per violation and $7,988 per intentional violation or violation involving consumers the business knows are under 16. Before the inflation adjustment the amounts were $2,500 and $7,500. The same limits apply to CalPrivacy fines and Attorney General civil penalties.

Who enforces the CCPA?

Two bodies. The California Attorney General can sue and settle for civil penalties, and the California Privacy Protection Agency, now called CalPrivacy, can issue administrative fines. They sometimes work together, as in the General Motors case, which also involved four county district attorneys. Consumers can sue directly only after certain data breaches.

What is the largest fine from CalPrivacy itself?

Tractor Supply's $1.35 million fine, announced September 30, 2025, was the largest in the agency's history at the time. PlayOn Sports, fined $1.10 million in March 2026, is the next largest. Most other CalPrivacy CCPA fines on record are smaller, such as Honda at $632,500 and Todd Snyder at $345,178.

Does the CCPA apply to my small business?

It applies to for-profit businesses that do business in California and meet a threshold, one of which is annual gross revenue above $26,625,000 as adjusted from January 1, 2025. Other thresholds turn on how much personal information you buy, sell or share. Even if you fall below them, your larger clients may require CCPA terms in your contract.

Can consumers sue for a data breach under the CCPA?

Yes, but only for certain breaches caused by a failure to keep reasonable security. Statutory damages now run from $107 to $799 per consumer per incident, up from $100 to $750. Because the amount multiplies by the number of people affected, breach claims can grow quickly for any business holding a large customer list.

What is the Delete Act and why are data brokers being fined?

California's Delete Act requires data brokers to register with CalPrivacy. The agency has fined brokers that failed to register, with amounts in this tracker ranging from $34,400 to $62,600. If your business buys or sells personal information about people it has no direct relationship with, check if your business counts as a data broker.

Are Texas privacy settlements really in the billions?

Two of them are. Texas settled with Meta for $1.4 billion in July 2024 and with Google for $1.375 billion in May 2025. Neither came under the Texas consumer privacy law. The Meta case used the state's biometric identifier law, and the Google case combined location, incognito and biometric claims.

Does a vendor contract protect me from a privacy fine?

It can shift the cost, but it rarely stops the fine. Regulators hold the business that collected the data responsible. Your contract decides whether you can recover the money from a vendor that caused the problem, so check the indemnity, the liability cap and whether privacy claims sit outside that cap.
