CCR 7050 Service providers and contractors: permitted uses and cooperation

A service provider or contractor may retain, use or disclose data received under its contract only for the specified business purposes and the other limited purposes in subsection (a), such as using subcontractors, building or improving its service without profiling for others, security and fraud prevention, and legal compliance. It may not provide cross-context behavioural advertising as a service provider, must handle consumer requests sent to it directly as the business instructs, and must cooperate with the business on requests, including deletion, correction, access to ADMT and opt-out notices. Without a compliant contract a recipient is not a service provider, so disclosure to it may be a sale or sharing.

Source: CCPA/CPRA, CCR 7050. 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.
