CalPrivacy, also known as the California Privacy Protection Agency, is marking the whole danged Data Privacy WEEK with a very Californian term.
Drop.
Now when Californians use the term “drop,” it’s usually used in the earthquake-related phrase “drop, cover, and hold on.”
But in the privacy world, DROP stands for “Delete Request and Opt-out Platform.”
“DROP lets you send a single request to over 500 registered data brokers.”
Which makes no difference to the UNREGISTERED people who sell your data, but it’s something I guess.
