On June 26, 2024, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA” or the “Agency”) held a virtual preliminary stakeholder session regarding a data broker accessible deletion mechanism. The mechanism, named Data Broker Delete Requests and Opt-out Platform (“DROP”), is an accessible deletion mechanism that will allow consumers to request deletion of their non-exempt personal information held by data brokers through a single request submitted to the Agency.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Ninth Circuit) recently held in Whiteside v. Kimberly Clark Corp., No. 23-55581 (July 17, 2024) that when a front label of a product is unambiguous, a manufacturer is precluded from relying on the back label to remedy any potential ambiguity. In this decision, the Ninth Circuit followed up on its prior decisions to clarify when a front label is ambiguous and, furthermore, when qualifying statements can be used to ameliorate ambiguity.
