Build a defensible California DROP readiness record

Record the account, retrieval, matching, deletion and reporting controls a reviewer should be able to inspect before live processing.

No consumer information is needed

Do not enter identifiers or deletion-list content. Answers and evidence references remain in this browser.

Set the assessment scope

Use the organisation’s documented coverage decision. This tool records that decision but does not make it.

OrganisationThe name shown on the evidence record.Assessment referenceA stable internal identifier, without consumer data.Review ownerUse a role or team if preferred.Assessment recordA final record is produced only when every control has the information needed for review.California data broker statusUse the organisation’s documented assessment.

Record the implementation evidence

Choose the current state and name the exact policy, test, ticket or record a reviewer should inspect.

Confirm the organisation’s California data broker status first. If coverage is not confirmed, the report will fail closed and record why no readiness assessment was made.

No consumer identifiers or deletion-list content should be entered.

Processing under the final regulations begins on 1 August 2026. The date prompts are based only on the recorded facts and must be checked against the live DROP account.

This tool does not determine coverage, connect to DROP, process deletion requests or verify that a named control operated.

What this tool checks

The scope stays narrow so the result is clear and reproducible.

Checks account, access, deletion-list selection and retrieval-cadence evidence after coverage is confirmed.
Checks supported identifier standardisation, hashing, deletion, suppression and service-provider records.
Reports missing and uncertain readiness evidence without processing consumer identifiers or connecting to DROP.

From official material to a working record

Official material sets the basis

Official California material describes the operational duties and processes relevant to DROP.

The tool prepares the operational record

The preflight converts recorded operating facts into a control-by-control evidence and action record without connecting to DROP.

Official sources stay visible

Each supported check shows its jurisdiction, source title, source version and review date beside the result. Unsupported cases are rejected rather than estimated.

Questions before you use the tool

Scope, files, evidence and browser-local handling.

Does the preflight decide whether we are a data broker?

No. The organisation records that decision before the routed readiness check begins.

Does the tool connect to DROP?

No. It does not submit information, retrieve deletion lists or process consumer identifiers.

Where are readiness details processed?

The control responses, evidence references and generated files remain in this browser.

What does the evidence pack contain?

It contains a Start Here PDF, readiness report, evidence register, action workbook, structured record and sources and assumptions record.

Check the DROP readiness record

Record the operating route, evidence and owners, then review every unresolved control before export.
