CCPA Privacy Policy Generator
California disclosure depends on whether the operator is a covered business, which categories it handles, and whether disclosures count as sale or sharing for cross-context advertising.
Test scope facts first
Revenue, California consumer or household volume, and revenue from selling or sharing can determine CCPA scope, subject to definitions and exceptions.
Separate service providers from sharing
Contracted operational disclosure can differ from sale or sharing, but labels do not override actual recipient purpose or contract terms.
Make opt-outs work
If sale or sharing occurs, user-facing opt-out methods and recognized Global Privacy Control handling must match published wording.
