The California Constitution provides for a right of privacy. Existing law prescribes a variety of consumer privacy protections, including those arising from particular business transactions. The California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, operative January 1, 2020, grants consumers various rights with regard to personal information collected by a business, as defined, including the right to know what is collected and the right to have that information deleted. This bill would require a social networking service, as defined, to provide users that close their accounts the option to have the user's personally identifiable information permanently removed from the company's database and records and to prohibit the service from selling that information to, or exchanging that information with, a third party in the future, subject to specified exceptions. The bill would require a social media company to honor such a request within a commercially reasonable time. The bill would authorize specified relief for a consumer for a violation of these provisions.
