Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

CCPA/CPRA requires businesses that sell or share personal data to provide a conspicuous 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link and honor opt-out requests within 15 business days; the definition of 'sharing' under CPRA explicitly captures behavioral advertising data flows even without monetary exchange.
