Requirements for Methods for Submitting CCPA Requests and Obtaining Consumer Consent
Audited by Privisy — The Privisy scanner actively tests for compliance with this requirement.
What it requires
Businesses must design and implement methods for submitting CCPA requests and obtaining consumer consent that are easy to understand, symmetrical in choice (the more privacy-protective path must be no longer or harder than the less protective path), free of confusing language or double-negatives, free of choice architecture that impairs consumer decisions, and easy to execute without unnecessary burden. A method that does not comply may be a dark pattern; any consent obtained through a dark pattern is void.
Legal text (excerpt)
(2) Symmetry in choice. The path for a consumer to exercise a more privacy-protective option shall not be longer or more difficult or time-consuming than the path to exercise a less privacy-protective option because that would impair or interfere with the consumer's ability to make a choice.
