California’s DROP Tool Lets You Mass-Delete Data from 600+ Brokers
California’s DROP tool lets residents send a single request to delete their data from all 614 registered data brokers. Brokers have until August 1 to comply, with 45 days to act after that. The tool simplifies exercising existing privacy rights under the Delete Act.
