The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides California residents the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. "Selling" under the CCPA means making personal information available to a third party in exchange for valuable consideration (including free or discounted software). "Sharing" means using consumers' personal information for "cross-context behavioral advertising," i.e., interest-based advertising.
As a business, you will have to determine if you sell or share personal information under the CCPA, such as through the use of interest-based advertising. If you are selling or sharing information, you must provide California consumers with a way to opt-out.
If you use interest-based advertising, you’ll want to ensure web visitors can opt out of having their information shared with ad networks. Doing so helps you build trust with customers and web visitors through transparent consent-based privacy practices. Additionally, non-compliance with the CCPA may result in monetary penalties. Read about why it’s better to get compliant sooner rather than later.
Opt-out tracking isn’t just required by the law, it’s also good business practice. By recording the specific dates that requests were made, you can schedule a request to ask the consumer to opt-in again after 12 months.
There is no one perfect way to track opt-outs but you’ll want to consider a variety of methods to determine what works best for you.
For example, Facebook’s Limited Data Use (LDU), or Google’s Restricted Data Processing (RDP) can help you provide website visitors with a way to opt out. These settings, when enabled, change the way these services process data. The easiest way to learn about these solutions is to search the vendor or ad network name along with the phrase “ccpa opt out”.
You may need to provide multiple sets of directions for opting out depending on the type of selling or sharing that you do.
