California CCPA Deletion Rights

California’s Consumer Privacy Act gives consumers a right to request deletion of covered personal information.

SB 923 extends that right to information collected about people from sources beyond the consumers themselves, while requiring businesses to provide appropriate request channels, including an online option for certain online-only businesses. Implementation also involves data brokers processing deletion requests and businesses retaining only the minimum information needed to keep deleted data from returning or being reused. Together, these rules connect consumer rights with the practical systems businesses use to locate, delete, and suppress personal information.
