CCR 7003 Make disclosures readable, accessible and linked conspicuously

Every disclosure and communication to consumers must use plain, jargon-free language. The required notices must also display well on small screens, be offered in each language the business ordinarily uses with California consumers, and be accessible to people with disabilities (online notices following an accepted standard such as WCAG 2.1). A conspicuous link on a website must look like comparable links on the page in size and colour, and in mobile apps the link must sit in the privacy policy reachable from the app store page and inside the app.

Source: CCPA/CPRA, CCR 7003. The statement above is our statement of the clause, read from the published text and cited so you can check it against the official text, not the instrument verbatim. Open CCPA/CPRA in the compliance library.

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.
