Coaches — whether life, executive, business, or wellness coaches — often work with clients on deeply personal matters: career struggles, relationship issues, mental health, and business failures.

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), enhanced by the CPRA in 2023, gives California residents extensive rights over their personal data.
