DROP program is active, giving Californians ability to stop data brokers from selling their personal info [View all]

DROP, which stands for Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, is a one-stop site to submit a data deletion request, requiring data brokers to delete your information.

How do I prevent my personal information from being sold?
To access the tool, go to privacy.ca.gov and hit the "Get started" button.

Fill out some basic information, including your name, address and email, and hit submit.

Then, more than 500 data brokers will be asked to delete your information.
