Methods of Limiting Sale, Sharing, and Use of Personal Information and Use of Sensitive Personal Information

What it requires

A business that sells or shares personal information (or uses/discloses sensitive PI beyond § 1798.121(a) purposes) must provide the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" and "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information" links, or a single link to both choices (subdivision (a)). Subdivision (b)(1) exempts a business that lets consumers opt out via an opt-out preference signal. Subdivision (c)(4) requires the business to honor an opt-out and wait at least 12 months before requesting that the consumer re-authorize the sale or sharing of their personal information or the additional use of their sensitive personal information.
