Data Brokers Hate This California Bill. Help Us Pass It.

EFF is a proud supporter of S.B. 362, authored by California State Senator Josh Becker and sponsored by Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and Californians for Consumer Privacy. It directs the California Privacy Protection Agency to create a deletion mechanism for data brokers that allows someone to make this request of every data broker with a single, verifiable consumer request.

We won!

Victory! With your support, EFF successfully advocated for California's data broker registry to have a universal opt-out mechanism, making it easier for everyone to exercise their privacy rights.
