Question 19
UnclassifiedWhich California consumer right is specific to sensitive personal information?
Correct answer: A
Explanation
California privacy law gives consumers "the right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information." Sensitive personal information is treated separately from general personal information, so this specific right applies to that category.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. The right to limit certain uses and disclosures of sensitive personal information
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the CPRA, Civil Code § 1798.121 gives consumers a distinct right to direct a business that collects sensitive personal information to limit its use and disclosure to what is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average consumer. The statute applies specifically to sensitive personal information, not to ordinary personal information, and businesses must honor a valid request without charging a fee or requiring the consumer to create an account.
B. The right to force deletion of all corporate backups immediately
C. The right to require source-code disclosure for profiling systems
D. The right to ban all internal analytics
