CIPP/US data broker registration and deletion guide
California's data broker regime includes registration requirements and a consumer deletion mechanism administered by the California Privacy Protection Agency.
Practical example
For a company that collects personal information from sources other than consumers, identify whether it meets the data broker definition before analysing registration or deletion duties.
Common mistake
Assuming every business that uses data is a data broker without applying the statutory definition and exclusions.
The California Privacy Protection Agency maintains data broker information, registration resources and consumer deletion guidance. Current obligations should be checked against the agency materials and statute.
For CIPP/US study, separate the data broker classification question from the consumer request and enforcement questions that can follow.
