The privacy policy is a control surface, not a branding page. California expects category level disclosures that let a consumer understand what you collect, why, with whom you disclose it, and what rights they can exercise. ## Mandatory content blocks A strong policy lists categories of personal information collected, categories of sources, business or commercial purposes, categories of third parties, and whether information was sold or shared in the preceding 12 months. - List each category of personal information in plain terms consumers can understand - Describe categories of sources such as consumers directly, ad networks, analytics providers, and data brokers - State categories of third parties and the purpose of selling, sharing, or disclosure - Explain each consumer right and how the request process works ## Content that is often missed The regulations expect operational detail, including how opt out preference signals are processed and whether the signal applies to a browser, device, account, or offline sharing context. - Explain how GPC or other opt out preference signals are handled - Describe verification practices for requests to know, delete, and correct - Include notice of financial incentive terms if incentives are offered - State the effective date and version so updates are easy to track ## Template governance The best template is populated from your data inventory and contract data, then reviewed after major product, vendor, or marketing changes. - Link every disclosure to the data map and a named owner - Review the policy after new tags, SDKs, or partners are introduced - Compare the policy against current rights metrics and notice at collection content - Retain prior versions and approval history *Recommended next step* *Placement: after the template, evidence, or documentation block* ## Keep California CCPA Privacy Policy Template in one governed evidence system SSOT can take California CCPA Privacy Policy Template from reusing this material inside a governed evidence system to a reusable workflow inside Sorena.
