Dealership Compliance

You are here: Home / Clients / Auto Dealerships / Dealership Compliance

If you own or administer a dealership in California and have not taken specific steps to address federal and state regulation you are subject to hefty fines from federal and state prosecutors.

Did you know that Dealerships are bound to adhere to federal regulations such as the GLBA, CFPB, FTC’s CARS rule, as well as state requirements such as the CRPA?

Lets take a look at the penalties you are subject to for CCPA violations (updated Feb 6, 2025):

  • Individual Monetary Damages: $107-$799 per violation.

  • Administrative Fines: $2,663 per accidental violation, $7,988 per intentional violation.

  • Civil Penalties: $2,663 per accidental violation, $7,988 per intentional violation.

Even a name, phone number, address, age, or email is considered NPPI.

What are some ways that you can receive an NPPI violation?

  • Your computer is stolen and data is accessed. For every instance of NPPI that is found by the thief you face the aforementioned charge.
  • You leave a document with NPPI in public view, an inspector or visitor sees it, you are now liable.
  • Your insecure network is hacked by a malicious actor and NPPI is accessed.

There’s no need to panic. Sacramento Valley IT works hand in hand with car dealerships in the Sacramento region to ensure that your data is secure and that your business is compliant with all relevant regulations.

Think you’re compliant? Find out by taking this short dealership compliance quiz:
