`CCR 7013` Notice of right to opt out of sale or sharing

A business that sells or shares data must give a Notice of Right to Opt-out of Sale/Sharing describing the right and how to use it, reached from a conspicuous Do Not Sell or Share link in the homepage header or footer that leads straight to the notice or an interactive form, and offered offline in the way the business deals with consumers (for example on paper forms or signage, in app settings, or orally on calls). A business that neither sells nor shares, and says so in its privacy policy, need not give the notice; data collected while no notice was posted may not be sold or shared without the consumer's consent.

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.
