Your Privacy Rights Don’t Stop at DROP!

Take a moment to dive into our new privacy‑rights word search. Hidden in the puzzle are some of the many rights Californians already have. DROP is just one tool in your privacy toolkit. As you scan the word search, look for rights like:

🔹Opt-out of the sale of your data
🔹Limit the use of sensitive information
🔹Correct inaccurate data
🔹Access what companies know about you

Data deletion is just one part of a much bigger picture. Learn more about your rights at privacy.ca.gov.

CalPrivacy-sponsored bill SB 923, the Expanding Privacy Rights Act, authored by Senator Josh Becker, has passed out of the CA Assembly Privacy Committee! It will next head to the CA Assembly Appropriations. The bill seeks to strengthen consumer privacy by expanding the CCPA’s right to delete and by making it easier to submit privacy requests, such as access, deletion, and correction requests.

Get ready: New resources for data brokers related to deletion request processing are now available at privacy.ca.gov/drop-for-data-brokers.

These materials are intended to support preparation for deletion request processing. Data brokers must access DROP and process deletion requests beginning August 1, 2026.

Our DROP team will be at the 4th Annual Juneteenth Celebration Run with the Greater Sacramento Urban League on June 20 at William Land Park, Village Green from 7-11 AM.

We’re proud to be a part of this powerful community event and to help Californians learn how DROP can protect their privacy.

Good news: you only have to ask once! After you submit a deletion request, data brokers are required to delete your personal information and maintain that request indefinitely. No need to come back or repeat the process. You’re truly one and done!
