California's Delete Act requires data brokers to delete collected info, shifts responsibility to the California Privacy Protection Agency, increases fines, and mandates a 30-sec data deletion website by 2026.

California's Delete Act gives residents tools to protect online privacy by requiring data brokers to delete any collected information, not just direct consumer data. The law shifts responsibility to the California Privacy Protection Agency, increases fines for non-compliance, and mandates a website allowing residents to delete their data in 30 seconds by 2026. As of now, around 450 businesses are registered, but privacy advocates note the registry is not comprehensive.
