CHAPTER 3. DATA BROKER REGISTRATION AND ACCESSIBLE DELETION MECHANISM
California's privacy agency has published Chapter 3 of what appears to be a regulatory framework requiring data brokers to register and provide consumers with an accessible mechanism to delete their personal information.
Why this matters: Data brokers collect and sell your personal information without ever asking you. Most people have no idea which companies hold their data or how to get it removed. Registration requirements force these companies into the open. Deletion mechanisms give people a real way to act. The details will matter a lot — an 'accessible' deletion process can mean anything from a simple one-click request to a bureaucratic maze designed to exhaust anyone who tries.
