Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

CPRA Section 1798.121 grants consumers the right to limit use of sensitive personal information; covered businesses must provide a 'Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information' link and comply with opt-out requests within 15 business days; Grindr's data profile makes this among its highest-risk compliance obligations.
