ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.105) grants California residents the right to request deletion of personal information, which may conflict with a perpetual license over user-submitted content that constitutes personal information.

FTC Act Section 5 applies if the perpetual license is not adequately disclosed at the time of content submission. The FTC and state AGs are the primary enforcement authorities. (2)
