CCPA Delete Act

California SB 362 requires the California Privacy Protection Agency to build a deletion mechanism that sends one request to active data brokers covered by California law.

Full definition

The California Data Broker Delete Act (SB 362, signed October 2023) requires the California Privacy Protection Agency to provide an accessible deletion mechanism. The CPPA's DROP process lets a California resident submit a single verifiable request directed to active data brokers covered by the mechanism, subject to non-exempt data, matching, verification, and other statutory or regulatory limits.
