CCR 7027 Handle requests to limit use of sensitive personal information

A business using sensitive data beyond the purposes listed in subsection (m) must offer two or more easy methods to limit, require no account or verification, stop the additional use and disclosure as soon as feasible and within 15 business days, instruct service providers and contractors using the data for those additional purposes to stop within the same period, tell third parties that received it for such purposes between the request and its implementation to comply and to pass the request on to anyone they gave it to in that window, let the consumer confirm the request was processed, and wait 12 months before asking for consent again. The permitted purposes in subsection (m) include providing the expected goods or services, security and integrity, short-term transient use, servicing and quality maintenance, and collection without the purpose of inferring characteristics.

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.
