CCPA/CPRA compliance for a newsletter
California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA. This page applies it to one kind of product (newsletter), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
For-profit businesses with over $25M revenue, or handling personal data of 100,000+ California consumers, or deriving 50%+ of revenue from selling data.
What a newsletter typically processes
- email addresses collected through a signup form
- open and click tracking
- list data held by an email service provider
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what CCPA/CPRA requires and what a newsletter actually does:
- Privacy policy
- Cookie policy and consent banner
Rights you must honour
CCPA/CPRA gives people in California the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Receive their data in a portable format
- Opt out of the sale or sharing of their data
- Opt out of profiling and targeted advertising
- Not be discriminated against for exercising a right
Cookies and trackers
Trackers may load by default, but the visitor needs a working way to opt out, and you must honour it.
CCPA/CPRA also requires you to honour a universal opt-out signal, so a browser sending Global Privacy Control must be treated as having opted out — without the visitor clicking anything.
