"If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You may submit a request to opt out by clicking the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link available on our website, or by contacting us as described in this policy.— Excerpt from Chegg's Chegg Privacy Policy
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision is required by the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act; the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General are the primary enforcement authorities. The policy must accurately describe the opt-out mechanism and Chegg must honor requests within the timeframes specified by law, generally 15 business days for opt-out requests under CPRA. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The opt-out mechanism is disclosed, but compliance depends on whether the Do Not Sell or Share link is prominently placed, whether Global Privacy Control signals are honored, and whether opt-out requests are technically propagated to all downstream data recipients including advertising SDK vendors. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: This right applies exclusively to California residents under current law; however, similar opt-out rights are being enacted in Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, and other states with comprehensive privacy laws, which may require parallel opt-out infrastructure. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Chegg's advertising and analytics vendor contracts must include terms that restrict those vendors from selling or sharing personal information received pursuant to an opt-out request; failure to include such terms could result in regulatory liability for downstream sales. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the opt-out link is present on all pages where personal data is collected, that Global Privacy Control browser signals are technically recognized and honored, and that the opt-out request fulfillment process is documented and auditable within the required response window.
