Summary

The bill amends the California Consumer Privacy Act so that any business that is not online‑only must publish an email address for consumers to submit deletion or correction requests. It also obligates data brokers to register annually with the California Privacy Protection Agency, pay a fee, and disclose detailed information about their data practices. The agency must create an accessible deletion mechanism and a privacy‑preference profile tool to help consumers manage and exclude data brokers from deletion requests.
