DROP stands for Delete Request and Opt-Out Platform. It is a state-run system that allows California residents to submit one deletion request that is sent to all registered data brokers at once.
Data brokers must:
-
Access DROP at least every 45 days.
-
Match requests against their data.
-
Delete applicable records.
-
Report the status back to DROP.
