Delete Request and Opt-out Platform (DROP)

The Delete Request and Opt-out Platform, known as DROP, is a free website run by the California Privacy Protection Agency (CalPrivacy) under the state's Delete Act. California residents verify their residency and send one deletion request to every registered data broker, then track its status with a DROP ID. It launched on January 1, 2026, and brokers had to begin processing requests on August 1, 2026.
