flag California launches DROP portal to let residents delete personal data from 500+ data brokers with one request.

flag California has launched the DROP portal, a new tool allowing residents to request deletion of their personal data from over 500 registered data brokers with a single submission. flag Mandated by the 2023 Delete Act, the system requires identity verification and lets users include mobile advertising IDs to improve deletion accuracy. flag Brokers must process requests by August 1, 2026, and comply with ongoing deletion requirements, facing penalties for non-compliance. flag The initiative aims to reduce spam, identity theft, and surveillance risks by limiting data access, particularly from private firms and government agencies.
