How to use this row

California residents can submit one deletion request through the official DROP site. Since August 1, 2026, brokers must access DROP at least every 45 days; the agency says a status update can take up to 90 days. Submission does not mean every broker has already completed deletion. DROP timing checked September 28, 2026; other rights retain their original source-check date.

No dollar penalty is summarized in this staged row; check CPPA or California enforcement materials before quoting a fine.
