What Is SB 362

One request. Every broker. Done.

California SB 362, the Delete Act, was signed into law in 2023 and became fully operative in 2026. It expands the CCPA by creating a single, centralized deletion mechanism — meaning you no longer have to contact each data broker individually.

Data brokers must register with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) and honor deletion requests submitted through ClickOff as your authorized agent. Failure to comply triggers fines of $200 per day per violation.

Right to Delete

Delete your personal data from all registered data brokers with a single request.

Authorized Agent

Designate ClickOff to submit deletion requests on your behalf — legally recognized under SB 362.

45-Day Compliance

Starting August 1, 2026, brokers must honor deletion requests within 45 days or face $200/day fines.

Free Forever

Data brokers cannot charge you to process a deletion request under SB 362.

Annual Re-deletion

Brokers must honor re-deletion requests once per year as brokers continuously re-acquire data.

CPPA Enforcement

The California Privacy Protection Agency actively enforces SB 362 with real fines.

DROP is California-only. SB 362's one-request deletion platform is restricted to California residents. If you live elsewhere, ClickOff still handles direct opt-outs for the 20 largest data brokers that honor nationwide requests under CCPA and GDPR frameworks.

Common questions

SB 362 explained.

What is a data broker under SB 362?

A data broker is any business that knowingly collects and sells personal information about California consumers with whom it does not have a direct relationship. All data brokers doing business in California must register with the CPPA and honor deletion requests.

How is SB 362 different from CCPA?

The CCPA requires you to contact each data broker individually. SB 362 creates DROP — the Delete Request and Opt-out Platform — a single centralized deletion mechanism. One request through DROP reaches all 500+ registered brokers. ClickOff guides you through the process as your authorized agent, with signed paperwork stored permanently.

Do I have to be a California resident?

DROP itself is California-only — the one-request 500+ broker mechanism is restricted to verified California residents. If you're not a California resident, ClickOff still handles direct opt-outs for the 20 largest data brokers that honor nationwide requests under CCPA and GDPR frameworks.

What happens after I submit?

You receive a signed agent authorization and receipt immediately. Starting August 1, 2026, each registered data broker is legally required to check DROP every 45 days and delete your personal information or face fines of $200 per day. ClickOff tracks compliance. For ongoing protection — auto re-submission every 45 days, dark web monitoring, new-broker alerts — upgrade to ClickOff Shield ($4.99/mo or $49/year).
