Complicated material is explained in a very accessible and transparent way. It’s a helpful resource for practicing professionals and a solid part of preparation for the CIPP/US exam. The course effectively breaks down privacy practices, provides guidance for implementation, and emphasizes giving consumers more control over their data—even if it may not be fully sufficient on its own to pass certification

I’m happy to find a privacy course that meets my needs and is quick and easy to understand. I feel like the information is concise to exactly what is pertinent extra verbiage.

Esme R.

It seems like there is a lot to know and it all comes down to the specific words of the CCPA so it makes sense that there is a lot of quoting directly from it. I felt this course was worthwhile for the outlines and explanations given. Thank you for offering it.
