CalPrivacy Seeks Preliminary Comments on Reducing Friction in Privacy Rights and Opt-Out Preference Signals: The California Privacy Protection Agency (“CalPrivacy”) issued an Invitation for Preliminary Comments exploring whether regulatory changes are needed to reduce friction in consumers’ exercise of privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and challenges faced by businesses in the implementation of opt-out preference signals (“OOPS”). CalPrivacy is soliciting stakeholder input on challenges consumers and businesses face, including difficulties locating privacy rights information, user-interface designs that may impair privacy choices, identity verification, use of authorized agents, and request-submission limits. The invitation also seeks feedback on OOPS, including experiences using signals such as Global Privacy Control; challenges businesses face in applying signals across browsers, devices, and identifiers for known consumers and pseudonymous profiles; and whether additional regulatory clarity is needed. Stakeholders are encouraged to propose specific regulatory language and to identify priorities for reducing friction. Preliminary comments are being accepted through April 6, 2026. If CalPrivacy proceeds with rulemaking, a formal comment period under the Administrative Procedure Act will follow.
