# CCPA/CPRA Posture: Consumer Rights on Orbit

> Map the CCPA/CPRA consumer-rights verbs — know, delete, correct, opt out of sale, limit sensitive PI, non-discrimination — onto Orbit's operator DSAR verbs and the self-service portal, run the 45-day SLA clock, and wire California's state-level gating into the rest of your posture.

# CCPA/CPRA Posture: Consumer Rights on Orbit

The [DSAR](/compliance/dsar) page documents the request pipeline
end to end; this guide is the CCPA/CPRA posture around it — which
consumer-rights verb covers which statutory right, when to apply it,
how California's state-level gating interacts with the request
lifecycle, and how the jurisdiction code and `consumer_categories`
subdivision carry through your organisation's records. It is the
California counterpart to
[Assembling a GDPR Posture End to End](/compliance/gdpr-posture-guide),
and it sits in the same per-jurisdiction posture group in the nav.

<Warning>
  This page describes Orbit's platform controls. It is **not legal
  advice.** Whether CCPA/CPRA applies to you — the revenue, volume, or
  data-sale thresholds in Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140(d), the service
  provider vs. contractor distinction, what "selling" or "sharing"
  covers for your use — depends on your business. Confirm with
  qualified counsel.
</Warning>

## The tenant-owned framing

Same model as every other posture on Orbit
([posture overview](/compliance/posture-overview)):

* **Every control here defaults open.** A new tenant has no pending
  requests, no portal link published, no retention window set, and no
  binder generations. Nothing on this page is mandated, and nothing
  here gates sending by itself — you assemble the posture; the
  platform enforces what you set.
* **Orbit is the conduit and the ledger.** It carries the request
  from intake to fulfilment, runs the verification gate and the SLA
  clock, and keeps the auditable record. It never decides whether
  CCPA/CPRA applies to you, never files with the California Privacy
  Protection Agency or the Attorney General for you, and never
  answers a consumer's legal question on your behalf.
* **Statutory citations below are signposts, not determinations.**
  The platform tracks the clock and the verbs; whether a specific
  request is valid, which exemption applies (for example the B2B or
  employee carve-outs), or whether 45 days is shortenable in your
  case sits with your counsel.

## Section 1 — The consumer-rights verb map

The CCPA (2018) and its CPRA amendment (effective 2023) define eight
consumer rights. Each maps onto an operator `request_type` on
`POST /compliance/dsar`; the public portal exposes a friendlier
subset that resolves onto the same verbs. The full intake, schema,
and portal flow are on [DSAR](/compliance/dsar) — this table is the
posture view.

| Statutory right                                                                                    | Citation                       | Operator `request_type` | Public portal verb |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------------- | ------------------ |
| **Right to know** — what PI you collect, use, disclose, sell                                       | §1798.100, §1798.110           | `know`                  | `access`           |
| **Right to delete**                                                                                | §1798.105                      | `delete`                | `delete`           |
| **Right to correct** inaccurate PI                                                                 | §1798.106 (CPRA)               | `correct`               | —                  |
| **Right to data portability**                                                                      | §1798.100(d) / §1798.130(a)(2) | `portability`           | `portability`      |
| **Right to opt out of sale/share** — including "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising | §1798.120                      | `opt_out_sale`          | `opt_out`          |
| **Right to limit use of sensitive PI**                                                             | §1798.121 (CPRA)               | `limit_sensitive_pi`    | —                  |
| **Right to non-discrimination** for exercising a right                                             | §1798.125                      | `non_discrimination`    | —                  |

Two structural notes:

* **The statutory clock is 45 days.** Filing a request with
  `applicable_jurisdiction: "ccpa"` or `"cpra"` starts a 45-day SLA
  clock — the response window in §1798.130(a)(2). The SLA dashboard
  tiers scale to that window (amber at 30–38 days, red at 39–45,
  breach past 45; escalation flagged at day 40). Track it with
  `GET /compliance/dsar/sla`, detailed on
  [DSAR](/compliance/dsar#sla-dashboard).
* **The CCPA-only verbs refuse a GDPR jurisdiction.** `opt_out_sale`,
  `limit_sensitive_pi`, and `non_discrimination` have no GDPR
  equivalent, so filing one without setting
  `applicable_jurisdiction: "ccpa"` or `"cpra"` is rejected with
  `422 VALIDATION_ERROR` — the `gdpr` default only covers rights that
  exist under GDPR.

## Section 2 — When to apply each verb

The pipeline is rights-driven, not request-driven: you file the
verb the consumer actually asked for, and higher-assurance verbs
require an operator verification decision before fulfilment proceeds
([DSAR → Verify or reject identity](/compliance/dsar)).

* **`know`** — access requests. For California consumers you usually
  attach `consumer_categories` to scope the answer; the subdivision
  is in Section 4.
* **`delete`** — erasure. Tracked as its own resource so you can
  audit and intervene before data is destroyed, with a signed
  proof-of-deletion certificate once it executes — the receipt a
  consumer or regulator holds as evidence the §1798.105 right was
  fulfilled ([DSAR → Proof-of-deletion certificate](/compliance/dsar)).
* **`correct`** — CPRA's rectification right. Also the nearest verb
  for a restriction-style claim where accuracy is disputed — file
  the accuracy half as `correct` and narrow processing in parallel
  (see the worked pair on [DSAR](/compliance/dsar)).
* **`portability`** — machine-readable export. Lands as a signed,
  time-limited download link on the request row.
* **`opt_out_sale`** — sale/share opt-out under §1798.120, including
  cross-context behavioural-advertising "sharing" added by the CPRA.
  Fulfilment flows into the same suppression layer every send reads
  ([Opt-Out & Suppression Lists](/compliance/opt-out-suppression)),
  so the opt-out is enforced before dispatch, not merely recorded.
* **`limit_sensitive_pi`** — CPRA's §1798.121 restriction on using
  sensitive PI beyond authorised purposes. File it to narrow
  processing in a lawful, tracked way; it is also the CCPA/CPRA
  analog you pair with a GDPR restriction claim.
* **`non_discrimination`** — §1798.125 claims. Rare in practice, but
  filing them on the same pipeline keeps them against a 45-day clock
  with the rest.

A request filed under the wrong verb still burns the clock — the
reclassification path is operator-side (`applicable_jurisdiction` and
`request_type` can be corrected after intake), so reclassify early
rather than letting a mis-filed `know` ride out as one.

## Section 3 — California's state-level gating in the posture

CCPA/CPRA is a **US state** law, not a federal one — and Orbit's
country map reads the US as one row while California rides as a
state-level jurisdiction inside it. Two consequences to hold
together:

1. **The country map stays country-shaped.**
   [Country rules](/compliance/country-requirements) and the
   [country-rules console](/guides/compliance-country-rules-console)
   carry one US row per channel (`iso: "US"`) — what the destination
   accepts, sender registration, opt-out text. Answering "what does
   California add?" is a posture question you answer *here*, on the
   state-jurisdiction surfaces below — the map deliberately does not
   fragment countries into states.
2. **State-level gating is handled on three surfaces, and none of
   them touches the DSAR lifecycle itself:**

| Surface                      | What it gates                                                                                                                                                                          | Where it resolves state to                                                                 |
| ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Outbound dialing windows** | The federal TCPA window plus the mini-TCPA state overlays — the intersection computes the binding send window                                                                          | [US Calling Windows](/compliance/state-calling-windows)                                    |
| **Recording/consent gates**  | Two-party-consent states (California among them) at set-time                                                                                                                           | The area-code → state union map, consumed identically by the quiet-hours and consent gates |
| **Jurisdiction codes**       | A fine-grained code (`US-CA`, `EU`, `UK`, …) stamped at write time on records such as call recordings, so the erasure sweep and the regulatory-audit read can resolve the jurisdiction | [Data residency](/compliance/data-residency-overview)                                      |

**How that interacts with the DSAR lifecycle:** the DSAR lifecycle is
fully driven by the jurisdiction you file **at intake**. When a
California consumer files — or you reclassify an incoming request —
`applicable_jurisdiction: "ccpa"` or `"cpra"` starts the 45-day
clock, and `request_type` picks from the CCPA-only verbs. The
`US-CA` code on a record simply tells fulfilment and audit reads
which rows fall under the California jurisdiction; it does not gate
intake, verification, or the clock. Keep the two wires separate:
state gating on send/recording surfaces, jurisdiction-at-intake on
the DSAR pipeline, and nothing on either surface blocks the other.

***

## Section 4 — The organisational subcategories the API accepts

For access requests (`request_type: "know"`) you can attach
`consumer_categories` — the CCPA §1798.100(b) notice-at-collection
categories the consumer is asking about. The compliance API accepts
GDPR and CCPA/CPRA classes together; this subdivision is the CCPA
one. The full enum is defined on
[DSAR → Request types](/compliance/dsar#request-types) and the
[API reference](/api-reference/endpoints/compliance); the values:

`identifiers`, `customer_records`, `protected_classifications`,
`commercial`, `biometric`, `internet_activity`, `geolocation`,
`sensory`, `professional`, `education`, `inferences`,
`sensitive_pi`.

Scope the answer with the category list that matches what the
notice-at-collection covers: an access request that asks about
`internet_activity` and `geolocation` fulfils against those two
categories, not against the whole enum. The list is also what your
organisation's own records (the
[privacy register](/compliance/privacy-register) activities and the
[evidence binder](/compliance/evidence-binder) export) should mirror
so the consumer-facing answer and the internal record agree.

## Section 5 — Where this page sits in the posture group

This page sits in the Compliance nav group alongside the other
per-jurisdiction posture guides —
[GDPR](/compliance/gdpr-posture-guide),
[TCPA](/compliance/tcpa-posture-guide),
[STIR/SHAKEN](/compliance/stir-shaken-posture-guide), and
[HIPAA](/compliance/hipaa-posture-guide) — and the California wire
it documents reads four sibling surfaces: the
[country rules](/compliance/country-requirements) map, the
[state calling windows](/compliance/state-calling-windows)
intersection, the [DSAR](/compliance/dsar) pipeline itself, and the
[consent](/compliance/consent-management) records an opt-out lands
on.
