§ 637.2(d) provides that there is no private right of action to sue for "the processing of personal information for a commercial business purpose." Anything that would otherwise be actionable under the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) would now be exempt if it includes a commercial business purpose, retroactively.

This is basically a sneaky repeal of the parts of CIPA that chafe big data.

Considering the companies that have been threatened or sued, it's far more than "big data."
