I'm not too familiar with the extent of California's "long arm" with respect to websites, but CA tends to take the position that most any contact with the state gives CA jurisdiction (I'm probably a bit broad here). So, a website that collects info from CA residents could be seen as conducting business in the state and would be subject to this law. Physical presence is usually not a requirement.
