CCPA Basics for Advisory & Insurance Ops

The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) gives consumers rights over their personal information. For advisory and insurance operations, the key is to translate policy into daily workflows.

Intake & Notices

Provide a concise notice at collection, link to your privacy policy, and explain what data you gather and why.

Access & Deletion Requests

Establish a tracked workflow to verify identity, locate data across systems, and respond within statutory timelines.

Data Retention

Publish retention schedules that balance regulatory requirements with privacy. Automate deletion where permitted.

Third Parties

Use contracts and periodic reviews to ensure service providers uphold privacy obligations.

Operationalizing CCPA

Create playbooks, train staff, and run quarterly tests of request handling. The goal is predictable, compliant responses under real conditions.
