CIPP/US Global Privacy Control and opt-out signals
California guidance explains that covered consumers can opt out of sale or sharing, including through the Global Privacy Control browser signal.
Practical example
When a site receives a browser signal, identify whether the business is covered and whether the signal relates to sale or sharing before choosing the response.
Common mistake
Treating a browser signal as a blanket answer without checking the governing state law and the business activity in the facts.
A universal opt-out signal is a mechanism that can communicate a consumer's preference across websites. The legal effect depends on the applicable law and the business activity.
For CIPP/US study, start with jurisdiction, scope and whether the conduct is sale, sharing or targeted advertising.
