CCPA/CPRA · Opt-out of sale or sharing, limiting sensitive data and preference signals

1798.135(a) Post the opt-out and limit links, or a single alternative link

A business selling or sharing data, or using sensitive data beyond the permitted purposes, must place clear and conspicuous homepage links: an opt-out link carrying the statutory title "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" plus another link carrying the title "Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information", or one combined link (titled Your Privacy Choices or Your California Privacy Choices with the opt-out icon under 11 CCR 7015) that lets the consumer do both. Under 1798.135(b) and section 7025(g) a business that processes opt-out preference signals in a frictionless way and meets the further conditions need not post the links. A separate homepage for California consumers may carry them instead (1798.135(d)).

Applies only to a business that meets one of the thresholds in Cal. Civ. Code 1798.140(d).

where the evidence lives
teal = a system already holds it · olive = produced at each review. To go live: easy when half or more of the artefacts are already held by a system, moderate from a quarter to a half, hard below a quarter.

These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.

First move

No system holds this evidence for you: it is people and documents. Reminders and routing to the owner still save time. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date.
