## Which rights does the CCPA grant?

The CCPA is the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act approved by voters in November 2020. It gives California residents rights to know, delete and correct personal information held by a business, to opt out of its sale or sharing, and to limit use of sensitive data. The CPRA added the rights to correct and limit sensitive

data from January 1, 2023 and created an enforcement agency.

## What can a California resident ask a business to do?

A resident may ask what personal information a business has collected, why, and with whom it was shared; request deletion or correction; and direct the business not to sell or share the data. A business must respond within 45 days and may not discriminate against anyone who exercises a right. Sensitive personal information, such as precise location, credentials, health data

and sexual orientation, carries a right to limit its use. Data about consumers under 16 may not be sold without opt-in consent.

## Which businesses must comply?

The Act applies to for-profit businesses in California that meet one threshold: gross revenue above $25 million, personal information of 100,000 or more consumers or households, or half or more of revenue from selling or sharing data. Non-profits and small publishers usually fall outside. Enforcement is shared. The Attorney General brings civil actions, and the California

Privacy Protection Agency, created by the CPRA, adopts regulations and issues administrative fines.

## How does this site handle California requests?

Clothoff AI does not sell personal information and runs no advertising, but it honors the CCPA framework regardless of thresholds. The Do Not Sell or Share page explains how Global Privacy Control signals are respected, and the data request form handles the other rights. The privacy policy lists the data the site processes, chiefly server logs and consent choices. Reviewed

tools, which run accounts and store uploads, are scored on the same rights under the privacy weight in How we rate . “The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) gives consumers more control over the personal information that businesses collect about them and the CCPA regulations provide guidance on how to implement the law.” — California Office of the Attorney General
