CCR 7220 Give a pre-use notice before using ADMT for significant decisions

Applies from 1 January 2027 to ADMT already in use for significant decisions, and from first use for later deployments (7200). Before collecting the data to be processed by the ADMT, or before repurposing data already held, the business must give a prominent pre-use notice in its usual channel stating the specific purpose, the right to opt out and how (or, where an exception applies, the appeal route or the exception relied on), the right to access ADMT information, the bar on retaliation, and a plain explanation of how the ADMT uses personal information, what output it produces and how the output feeds the decision, and the alternative process for those who opt out. Trade secrets and security-sensitive details may be withheld, and one notice may cover several uses.

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.
