Summary

The bill amends the California Consumer Privacy Act so a consumer can demand deletion of any personal information a business holds about them, even if it was obtained from a third party. Businesses must keep only a minimal record of the request and provide at least two ways—such as a toll‑free number and an online form—for consumers to submit deletion or correction requests. The change aims to close a privacy gap while allowing limited data retention for security, legal, or research purposes.
