CCPA Data Removal — California Residents' Right to Delete
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment (CPRA) give California residents the right to request deletion of their personal information from companies that collect and sell it — including data brokers.
This guide explains how to use CCPA deletion rights for data broker removal and what to expect from the process.
How CCPA Deletion Rights Work in Practice
CCPA deletion requests require companies to delete the personal information they hold about you and to direct their service providers to do the same. However, there are exceptions — including data needed for completing a transaction, detecting security incidents, and complying with legal obligations.
Data brokers often claim these exceptions broadly, which is why legal tools like CCPA deletion requests are most effective when combined with standard opt-out processes.
