Create a CCPA-compliant data request and deletion process

1-2 hr Impact: medium Effort: medium ✓ Manual completion

A CCPA-compliant data request and deletion process, genuinely documented and actually followed, is legally required if you have California residents as users or customers, honoring access and deletion requests within the required 45-day window.

CCPA penalties start at real dollar amounts per violation, and beyond legal risk, this is genuinely important for user trust regardless of specific jurisdiction.

How to do it

  1. 1
    Confirm CCPA applies to your business
    Based on your revenue, data volume, and whether you have California users or customers.
  2. 2
    Create a real intake process for requests
    A clear form or contact method, not something a user has to hunt for.
  3. 3
    Define your actual internal handling process
    Who is responsible, how data is genuinely located and deleted across your systems.
  4. 4
    Test the process end to end
    Submit a real test request to confirm it genuinely works within the required timeframe.
