The California Attorney General (AG) announced the approval of additional regulations to the CCPA. These additional regulations ban ‘dark patterns’ that delay or obscure the opt-out process for the sale of personal information and prohibit organizations from using confusing language or including unnecessary steps.

What’s Included in the Additional CCPA Regulations? 

This latest set of CCPA regulations provides organizations with greater guidance on how to ensure consumers are being afforded the appropriate rights, including: 

  • Businesses that sell personal information that is collected via offline interactions must also be sure to inform consumers of their right to opt-out and how to exercise that right via an offline method. 
  • The additional regulations provide businesses with an optional Privacy Options icon:
              
  • Organizations’ opt-out methods must be easy to follow and require minimal steps to allow the consumer to opt-out.  
  • Opt-out methods must not subvert or impair a consumer’s choice to opt-out, whether by design or by effect. 
  • The regulations also clarify what kind of proof an organization may require an authorized agent to provide, and what the business may require of a consumer to verify their request.
