CCPA Consumer Rights Request Generator

Your Request Letter

How this works

This tool writes a request letter that cites the California Consumer Privacy Act and the right you're exercising: access, deletion, correction or opt-out.

It doesn't check whether the business is a "covered business" under CCPA/CPRA (our CCPA/CPRA Applicability Checker does that), and it doesn't send anything for you. Send the generated text yourself, by email or through the business's privacy request channel. Many larger businesses have a web form or toll-free number for these requests.

Keep a copy of what you send and when, since a covered business generally has 45 days to respond, extendable once by another 45 days if they notify you why.

Frequently Asked Questions

What consumer rights does CCPA give me?

California consumers can request to know what personal information a business has collected about them, request deletion of that information, request correction of inaccurate information, and opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.

How long does a business have to respond to my request?

Generally 45 days. The business can take one 45-day extension if it notifies you and explains why, for a maximum of 90 days in most cases.

Do I have to use a specific form to make a CCPA request?

No specific form is legally required, but your request should clearly identify which right you're exercising and provide enough information for the business to verify your identity. A written letter or email like the one this tool generates is a common, effective approach.

Can every business ignore my CCPA request?

No, but only businesses that meet CCPA's applicability thresholds (revenue, consumer volume, or data-sale-revenue share) are legally required to respond. Use our CCPA/CPRA Applicability Checker to see if a specific business is likely covered.

What if a business doesn't respond to my request?

You can file a complaint with the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) or the California Attorney General's office. In some cases, especially data breaches, consumers may also have a private right of action.
