CCPA Compliance Checker
Enter any domain to instantly check whether it has a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link — a key requirement of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Why Does CCPA Require a “Do Not Sell” Link?
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) grants California residents the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. To make this right easily accessible, businesses must place a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link on their website homepage. This link must direct users to a mechanism where they can submit their opt-out request.
Who Needs to Comply?
The CCPA applies to for-profit businesses that do business in California and meet any of the following criteria: annual gross revenue over $25 million, buying/selling personal information of 100,000 or more consumers, or deriving 50% or more of annual revenue from selling personal information.
