California is officially the first state to pass a law streamlining personal data removal. On October 10, Governor Gavin Newsom signed SB 362<\/a>, known as the Delete Act, into law, requiring the California Privacy Protection Agency<\/a> (CPPA) to create and roll out a tool allowing state residents to request that all<\/em> data brokers delete their information. There are nearly 500 registered data brokers<\/a> in California.<\/p>\n Advocates for the bill painted it as a necessary protection. \u201cData brokers possess thousands of data points on each and every one of us, and they currently sell reproductive healthcare, geolocation, and purchasing data to the highest bidder,\u201d Senator Josh Becker, author of the bill, said in a statement. \u201cThe Delete Act protects our most sensitive information.\u201d<\/p>\n
