Audits and fines for data brokers

Beginning January 1, 2028, data brokers must complete an independent audit every three years to check compliance with the deletion rules, keep reports for at least six years, and provide them within five business days when the Agency asks. The Agency may charge brokers a reasonable access fee when they use the deletion tool. If a broker fails to register, the Agency can fine $200 per day, plus due fees and investigation costs. If a broker ignores deletion rules, the Agency can fine $200 per request per day, plus costs. Money from these fees and penalties goes into the Data Brokers’ Registry Fund to support oversight and court costs.

One-stop deletion of your data

By January 1, 2026, the California Privacy Protection Agency runs a free web tool that lets you send one verified request to delete your personal data held by all registered data brokers. You can exclude certain brokers and change a past request after at least 45 days. Starting August 1, 2026, brokers must check the tool at least every 45 days and finish deletions within 45 days, or treat unverified requests as opt-outs of sale or sharing. After deletion, brokers must keep deleting at least every 45 days and stop selling or sharing new data about you, unless you ask otherwise or the law allows keeping data for limited purposes. The tool supports multiple languages, accessibility features, authorized agents, and shows request status.

Data brokers must register and disclose

Data brokers must register with the Agency each year by January 31 and pay a fee that covers the public site and the deletion tool. Registration must list contact details, the kinds of personal data collected (including sensitive types or minors’ data), and whether data was shared or sold in the past year to foreign actors, governments, law enforcement, or AI developers. The Agency posts a public registry page with this information and a link to each broker’s privacy-rights page, but it withholds certain sensitive registration fields from public view. Starting January 1, 2029, registrations must also say whether the broker completed the required audit and the most recent year submitted.
