Do Businesses Still Have to Handle Deletion Requests Outside of DROP?

Yes. DROP does not replace existing consumer rights.

Businesses must still:

  • Accept deletion and opt-out requests through their website or other contact methods.

  • Respond within required timeframes.

  • Maintain privacy policy disclosures.

DROP is an additional requirement, not a substitute.
