California request handling works best when each right is treated as a specific workflow with its own timing, verification, and downstream propagation rules. ## Request intake and clock start Set designated methods to submit requests and confirm who owns the first review. Most substantive responses are due within 45 days, with one 45 day extension where reasonably necessary. - Classify requests to know, delete, correct, opt out, and limit where applicable - Start the 45 day clock when a valid request is received and routed - Use extension notices only when justified - Accept authorised agents with the evidence the regulations require ## Verification and search Verification must be reasonable and proportionate to the sensitivity of the data and the harm of a mistake. Requests to opt out of sale or sharing should be processed without forcing identity verification. - Use account authentication where possible - Avoid collecting more data than necessary for verification - Search systems, archives, and contracted service providers consistently - Delete new verification data as soon as practical after the request is processed ## Response, downstream instructions, and recordkeeping A California rights workflow should push deletion, correction, or opt out instructions to service providers, contractors, and third parties where the law or contract requires it. - Record deletion exceptions and what data was kept - Forward opt out and deletion instructions to downstream parties where required - Retain request logs, dates, and response outcomes for 24 months - Measure cycle time, denial reasons, and repeat requests *Recommended next step* *Placement: after the scope or definition section* ## Use California CCPA Consumer Rights Workflow as a cited research workflow Research Copilot can take California CCPA Consumer Rights Workflow from clarifying scope and applicability with cited answers to a reusable workflow inside Sorena.
