Overview

The CPRA rights workflow is broader than the original California set. It must now handle correction and limitation requests as well as the older know, delete, and opt out flows.

Section 1

Intake and routing by right type

Do not run all California rights through the same decision tree. Each right has a different verification need, evidence burden, and downstream action set.

  • Separate requests to know, delete, correct, limit, and opt out on intake
  • Start the 45 day response clock and manage extensions centrally
  • Allow authorised agents where the regulations require it
  • Explain the current status of each request clearly to the consumer
Section 2

Verification and fulfilment

The regulations require proportionate verification for delete, correct, and know requests and do not allow businesses to make opt out or limit requests burdensome.

  • Use reasonable or reasonably high assurance based on data sensitivity and harm
  • Do not require identity verification for opt out or limit requests
  • Delete extra verification data as soon as practical after use
  • Search internal systems and key downstream parties where needed
Section 3

Downstream propagation and records

Deletion, correction, opt out, and limit outcomes often require action by service providers, contractors, or third parties.

  • Push deletion, correction, opt out, and limit instructions downstream where required
  • Keep 24 month records of the request, response, and downstream instructions
  • Track mean or median response time by request type
  • Use error logs and repeat contacts to improve the workflow
